years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s}, rie
name was j Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
2 And he did that which was ~right in the_sight_of J the Lorp, but not with a perfect heart.
3 Now it came_to_pass, when- the kingdom was_established to him, that} he slew his -servants that had_killed «the king his father.

not die for the s children, neither shall |+ the schildren die for the fathers, but} s.
‘ every_man shall_die for his_own sin.” 5 Moreover Amaziah gathered -Ju- dah together, and made them captains over xthousands, and captains over xhundreds, according_to the_houses_of their fathers, throughout all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and above, and found them three hundred thousand choice men, able_to_go_forth to war, +that_ could_handle spear and shield.
6 He hired also a hundred thousand mighty_men_of valour out_of Israél for a hundred talents_of silver.
