Israel » Amaziah » Judah » Invaded » King of israel
Amaziah son of Jehoash became king of Judah. It was in the second year of Jehoash son of Joahaz king of Israel. Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king. He ruled in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years. His mother's name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem. He did what was right in the eyes of Jehovah. Though not like David his forefather; he did as Joash his father had done. read more.
Still the high places were not taken away. The people continued making offerings and burning them in the high places. As soon as he firmly established the kingdom he immediately put to death those servants who had taken the life of his father, the king. But he did not put their children to death. The orders of Jehovah recorded in the book of the law of Moses say: The fathers are not to be put to death for the children, or the children for their fathers; but each man shall be put to death for his own sin. He put to the sword twelve thousand men of Edom in the Valley of Salt. He captured Sela in war, and named it Joktheel, as it is to this day. Then Amaziah sent representatives to Jehoash son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying: Come let us have a meeting face to face. Jehoash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying: The thorn-tree in Lebanon sent to the cedar in Lebanon, saying: 'Give your daughter to my son for a wife.' A beast from the woodland in Lebanon went by, crushing the thorn under his feet. It is true that you have overcome Edom and your heart is uplifted. Let that glory be enough for you and stay in your own country. Why do you make causes for trouble, putting yourself and Judah with you in danger of downfall? But Amaziah paid no attention. So Jehoash king of Israel went to Amaziah king of Judah to meet face to face at Bethshemesh in Judah. Judah was defeated by Israel and every man fled home. Jehoash king of Israel made Amaziah king of Judah son of Jehoash, son of Ahaziah, prisoner at Bethshemesh. He went to Jerusalem and had the wall of Jerusalem pulled down from the Gate of Ephraim to the gate in the angle, six hundred feet. He took all the gold and silver and all the vessels in the Temple of Jehovah and in the storehouse of the king, together with those whose lives would be the price of broken faith, and went back to Samaria. The rest of the acts of Jehoash, and his power, and how he went to war with Amaziah, king of Judah, are recorded in the Book of the History of the Kings of Israel. Jehoash went to rest with his fathers. They buried him in Samaria with the kings of Israel. Jeroboam his son became king in his place. Amaziah, the son of Jehoash, king of Judah, went on living for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.

It said: 'Let your daughter marry my son, but a wild animal from Lebanon came along and trampled the thistle. You say you defeated Edom. Now you have become arrogant enough to look for more fame. Stay home! Why must you invite disaster and your own defeat and take Judah with you?' read more.

King Amaziah of Judah met him in battle at Beth Shemesh in Judah. Israel defeated the army of Judah. The Judeans fled to their homes.

He did evil in the eyes of Jehovah, not turning away from the sin of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, which he did and made Israel do. He continued sinning. Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash, and all he did, and the force with which he went to war against Amaziah, king of Judah, are recorded in the Book of the History of the Kings of Israel. read more.
Joash went to rest with his fathers. They buried Jehoash in Samaria with the kings of Israel. Jeroboam took his place as king. Elisha became ill with the disease that caused his death. Jehoash, king of Israel, came down to him, and weeping over him said: My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and its horsemen! Elisha said to him: Take bow and arrows So he took bow and arrows. He said to the king of Israel: Put your hand on the bow So he put his hand on it; and Elisha put his hands on the king's hands. Then he said: Let the window be open to the east. So he got it open. Then Elisha said: Let the arrow go! So he let it go. He said: Jehovah's arrow of salvation, of salvation over Aram for you will overcome the Aramaeans in Aphek and put an end to them. He said: Take the arrows! So he took them. He said to the king of Israel: Send them down into the earth. He did so three times and no more. Then the man of God was angry with him and said: If you had done it five or six times, then you would have overcome Aram completely. Now you will only overcome them three times. Elisha died and they buried him. Now in the spring of the year, armed bands of Moabites frequently came, overrunning the land. While they were burying a dead man they saw a band coming. They put the man quickly into the place where Elisha's body was. The dead man's body touched Elisha's bones. The man came to life again and got up on his feet. Israel was crushed under the power of Hazael, king of Aram, all the days of Jehoahaz. But Jehovah was kind to them and had pity on them, caring for them, because of his agreement with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He would not put them to destruction or send them away from his presence until now. Then Hazael king of Aram died. Benhadad his son became king in his place. Jehoash son of Jehoahaz captured again from Benhadad, the son of Hazael, the towns he had taken from Jehoahaz, his father, in war. Three times Jehoash defeated him and recovered the towns of Israel.
