2 Chronicles 25
25
1Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] [was] twenty and five years old [when] he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]. And his mother’s name [was] Y’ho’adan [Yehovah delights] of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].
2And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), but not with a perfect heart.
3Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him, that he killed his servants that had killed the king his father.
4But he killed not their children, but [did] as [it is] written in the law in the book of Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters], where the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.
5Moreover Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] gathered Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] together, and made them captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, according to the houses of [their] fathers, throughout all Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength]: 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.
6He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] for an hundred talents of silver.
7But there came a man of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] go with youi; for the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [is] not with Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], [that is to say, with] all the children of Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful].
8But if youi will go, do [it], be strong for the battle: God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] shall make youi fall before the enemy: for God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The any Powered] has power to help, and to cast down.
9And Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] said to the man of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]? And the man of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] answered, The Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) is able to give youi much more than this.
10Then Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] separated them, [that is to say], the army that was come to him out of Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful], to go home again: wherefore their anger was greatly kindled against Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and they returned home in great anger.
11And Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] strengthened himself, and led forth his people, and went to the valley of salt, and struck of the children of Se’ir [Shaggy] ten thousand.
12And [other] ten thousand [left] alive did the children of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] carry away captive, and brought them unto the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, that they all were broken in pieces.
13But the soldiers of the army which Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], from Shomron [watch mountain] even unto Beit-Horon [House of Hollowness], and struck three thousand of them, and took much spoil (plunder; prey; booty).
14Now it came to pass, after that Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] was come from the slaughter of the Edomi [red], that he brought the gods of the children of Se’ir [Shaggy], and set them up [to be] his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense unto them.
15For what reason the anger of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) was kindled against Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty], and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why have youi sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of youi hand?
16And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that [the king] said unto him, Are youi made of the king’s counsel? refrain (restrain; refrein from acting); why should youi be smitten? Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] has determined to destroy youi, because youi have done this, and have not listened unto my counsel.
17Then Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] took advice, and sent to Yo’ash [Given by the Lord], the son of Y’ho’achaz [Yehovah has seized], the son of Yehu [Yehovah is He], king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], saying, Come, let us see one another in the face.
18And Yo’ash [Given by the Lord] king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] sent to Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], saying, The thistle that [was] in L’vanon [Whiteness] sent to the cedar that [was] in L’vanon [Whiteness], saying, Give youi daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that [was] in L’vanon [Whiteness], and trampled down the thistle.
19youi say, Lo, youi have smitten the Edomi [red]; and youi heart lifts youi up to boast: abide now at home; why should youi meddle to [youi] hurt, that youi should fall, [even] youi, and Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] with youi?
20But Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] would not hear; for it [came] of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], that he might deliver them into the hand [of their enemies], because they sought after the gods of Edom [Red].
21So Yo’ash [Given by the Lord] the king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] went up; and they saw one another in the face, [both] he and Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], at Beit-Shemesh [House of the Sun], which [belongs] to Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised].
22And Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] was put to the worse before Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and they fled every man to his tent.
23And Yo’ash [Given by the Lord] the king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] took Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], the son of Yo’ash [Given by the Lord], the son of Y’ho’achaz [Yehovah has seized], at Beit-Shemesh [House of the Sun], and brought him to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and broke down the wall of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] from the gate of Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
24And [he took] all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] with ‘Oved-Edom [servant of Edom], and the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned to Shomron [watch mountain].
25And Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] the son of Yo’ash [Given by the Lord] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] lived after the death of Yo’ash [Given by the Lord] son of Y’ho’achaz [Yehovah has seized] king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] fifteen years.
26Now the rest of the acts of Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty], first and last, behold, [are] they not written in the book of the kings of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]?
27Now after the time that Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] did turn away from following the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) they made a conspiracy against him in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]; and he fled to Lakhish [Invincible]: but they sent to Lakhish [Invincible] after him, and killed him there.
28And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised].

2 Chronicles 25
25
1Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] [was] twenty and five years old [when] he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]. And his mother’s name [was] Y’ho’adan [Yehovah delights] of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].
2And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), but not with a perfect heart.

6He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] for an hundred talents of silver.
7But there came a man of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] go with youi; for the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [is] not with Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], [that is to say, with] all the children of Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful].

9And Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] said to the man of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]?

18And Yo’ash [Given by the Lord] king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] sent to Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], saying, The thistle that [was] in L’vanon [Whiteness] sent to the cedar that [was] in L’vanon [Whiteness], saying, Give youi daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that [was] in L’vanon [Whiteness], and trampled down the thistle.

23And Yo’ash [Given by the Lord] the king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] took Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], the son of Yo’ash [Given by the Lord], the son of Y’ho’achaz [Yehovah has seized], at Beit-Shemesh [House of the Sun], and brought him to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and broke down the wall of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] from the gate of Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
