2 Kings 14:11-22

2 Kings 14:11-22 CSB

But Amaziah would not listen, so King Jehoash of Israel advanced. He and King Amaziah of Judah met face to face at Beth-shemesh  that belonged to Judah. Judah was routed before Israel, and each man fled to his own tent.  King Jehoash of Israel captured Judah’s King Amaziah son of Joash,  son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh. Then Jehoash went to Jerusalem and broke down two hundred yards  of Jerusalem’s wall from the Ephraim Gate  to the Corner Gate.  He took all the gold and silver, all the articles found in the Lord’s temple and in the treasuries of the king’s palace, and some hostages.  Then he returned to Samaria. The rest of the events of Jehoash’s reign, along with his accomplishments, his might, and how he waged war against King Amaziah of Judah, are written in the Historical Record of Israel’s Kings.  Jehoash rested with his ancestors, and he was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. His son Jeroboam became king in his place. Judah’s King Amaziah son of Joash lived fifteen years after the death of Israel’s King Jehoash son of Jehoahaz.  The rest of the events of Amaziah’s reign are written in the Historical Record of Judah’s Kings.  A conspiracy was formed against him in Jerusalem,  and he fled to Lachish.  However, men were sent after him to Lachish, and they put him to death there. They carried him back  on horses, and he was buried in Jerusalem with his ancestors in the city of David.  Then all the people of Judah took Azariah,  , who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah. After Amaziah the king rested with his ancestors, Azariah rebuilt Elath  , and restored it to Judah.
