2 Kings 14
14
1In the second year 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] reigned Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] the son of Yo’ash [Given by the Lord] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised].
2He was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and 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].
3And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), yet not like David [beloved] his father: he did according to all things as Yo’ash [Given by the Lord] his father did.
4However the high places were not taken away: as yet the people did sacrifice and burnt incense on the high places.
5And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand, that he killed his servants which had slain the king his father.
6But the children of the murderers he killed not: according unto that which is written in the book of the law of Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters], wherein the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
7He killed of Edom [Red] in the Valley of Salt ten thousand, and took Sela [the rocks] [the rock] by war, and called the name of it Yokte’el [The Blessedness of God] unto this day.
8Then Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] sent messengers to Y’ho’ash [given by the Lord], the son of Y’ho’achaz [Yehovah has seized] son of Yehu [Yehovah is He], king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], saying, Come, let us look one another in the face.
9And Y’ho’ash [given by the Lord] the 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 youri daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that [was] in L’vanon [Whiteness], and trampled down the thistle.
10youi have indeed smitten Edom [Red], and youri heart has lifted youi up: glory [of this], and wait at home: for why should youi meddle to [youri] hurt, that youi should fall, [even] youi, and Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] with youi?
11But Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] would not hear. Therefore Y’ho’ash [given by the Lord] king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] went up; and he and Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] looked one another in the face at Beit-Shemesh [House of the Sun], which [belongs] to Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised].
12And 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 their tents.
13And Y’ho’ash [given by the Lord] 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 Y’ho’ash [given by the Lord] the son of Achazyah [Yehovah possesses], at Beit-Shemesh [House of the Sun], and came to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and broke down the wall of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] from the gate of Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] unto the corner gate, six hundred feet long.
14And he took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and in the treasures of the king’s house, and hostages, and returned to Shomron [watch mountain].
15Now the rest of the acts of Y’ho’ash [given by the Lord] which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], [are] they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]?
16And Y’ho’ash [given by the Lord] slept with his fathers, and was buried in Shomron [watch mountain] with the kings of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; and Yarov’am [the people will contend] his son reigned in his stead.
17And 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 Y’ho’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.
18And the rest of the acts of Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty], [are] they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised]?
19Now they made a conspiracy against him in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]: and he fled to Lakhish [Invincible]; but they sent after him to Lakhish [Invincible], and killed him there.
20And they brought him on horses: and he was buried at Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] with his fathers in the city of David [beloved].
21And all the people of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] took ‘Azaryah [Yehovah has helped], which [was] sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty].
22He built Eilat [Grove of Lofty Trees], and restored it to Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], after that the king slept with his fathers.
23In the fifteenth year of Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] the son of Yo’ash [Given by the Lord] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] Yarov’am [the people will contend] the son of Yo’ash [Given by the Lord] king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] began to reign in Shomron [watch mountain], [and reigned] forty and one years.
24And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): he departed not from all the sins of Yarov’am [the people will contend] the son of N’vat [aspect], who made Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] to sin.
25He restored the coast of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] from the entering of Hamat [Fortress] unto the sea of the plain, according to the word of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], which he spoke by the hand of his servant Yonah [dove], the son of Amitai [my truth], the prophet, which [was] of Gat-Hefer [the winepress of digging].
26For the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) saw the affliction of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], [that it was] very bitter: for [there was] not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].
27And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said not that he would blot out the name of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] from under heaven: but he saved them by the hand of Yarov’am [the people will contend] the son of Yo’ash [Given by the Lord].
28Now the rest of the acts of Yarov’am [the people will contend], and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Dammesek (Damascus) [silent is the sackcloth weaver], and Hamat [Fortress], [which belonged] to Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], for Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]?
29And Yarov’am [the people will contend] slept with his fathers, [even] with the kings of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; and Z’kharyah [Yehovah remembers] [the Lord recalled] his son reigned in his place.
