Kings IV 14:10-26

¹⁰You have struck and wounded Edom, and your heart has lifted you up: stay at home and glorify yourself; for therefore are you quarrelsome to your hurt? So both you will fall and Juda with you.

¹¹Nevertheless Amessias listened not: so Joas king of Israel went up, and he and Amessias king of Juda looked one another in the face in Baethsamys of Juda.

¹²And Juda was overthrown before Israel, and every man fled to his tent.

¹³And Joas king of Israel took Amessias the son of Joas the son of Ochozias, in Baethsamys; and he came to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, beginning at the gate of Ephraim as far as the gate of the corner, four hundred cubits.

¹⁴And he took the gold, and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house, and the hostages, and returned to Samaria.

¹⁵And the rest of the acts of Joas, even all that he did in his might, how he warred with Amessias king of Juda, are not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

¹⁶And Joas slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead.

¹⁷And Amessias the son of Joas king of Juda lived after the death of Joas son of Joachaz king of Israel fifteen years.

¹⁸And the rest of the acts of Amessias, and all that he did, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?

¹⁹And they formed a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachis: and they sent after him to Lachis, and killed him there.

²⁰And they brought him upon horses; and he was buried in Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.

²¹And all the people of Juda took Azarias, and he was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amessias.

²²He built Aeloth, and restored it to Juda, after the king slept with his fathers.

²³In the fifteenth year of Amessias son of Joas king of Juda began Jeroboam son of Joas to reign over Israel in Samaria forty and one years.

²⁴And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who led Israel to sin.

²⁵He recovered the coast of Israel from the entering in of Aemath to the sea of Araba, according to the word of the Lord God of Israel, which he spoke by his servant Jonas the son of Amathi, the prophet of Gethchopher.

²⁶For the Lord saw that the affliction of Israel was very bitter, and that they were few in number, straitened and in lack, and destitute, and Israel had no helper.
