1In the second year for Yehoash son of Yahuakhaz, King of Israel, Amutsia, son of Yoash, King of Yehuda, became king. 2He was a son of twentyfive years when he reigned, and he reigned twentynine years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother was Yahuadan from Jerusalem. 3And he did what is beautiful before LORD JEHOVAH, however not like David his father as that which Yoash his father did. 4However, he did not remove the high places, and the people were still sacrificing and burning incense on the high places. 5And when the Kingdom was strengthened by his hand, he killed his Servants who murdered Yoash the King, his father. 6And the children of the murderers he did not kill, as it is written in the Book of the Law of Moshe that LORD JEHOVAH commanded, and he said the parents will not die for the sake of the children and the children will not die for the sake of their fathers, but a man shall die for his sins.

7And he put Edom to the sword in Gamlakh, twenty thousand, and destroyed it to Sala in war, and he called its name Naqtheil until today.

8Then Amutsia King of Yehuda sent Messengers to Yehoash, son of Yahuakhaz, son of Yahu, King of Israel, and he said: “Come, we will meet face to face!” 9And Yehoash King of Israel sent to Amutsia King of Yehuda and said: “A thorn bush that is in Lebanon sent to a cedar that is in Lebanon: “Give your daughter to my son as a wife”, and an animal passed by that in Lebanon and trampled the thorn bush. 10Putting to the sword, you have destroyed Edom, and you have lifted up your heart. Be honored and dwell in your house. You should not provoke evil and fall, and Yehuda with you!”

11And Amutsia did not listen to him, and Yehoash, King of Israel, went up, and Amutsia King of Yehuda, and they met each other face to face in Bayth Shemesh of Yehuda, he and Amutsia King of Yehuda. 12And Yehuda was defeated from before Israel, and each man fled to his tent. 13And Yehoash King of Israel took Amutsia King of Yehuda in Bayth Shemesh, and he entered Jerusalem, and he broke in the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Aphreim unto the gate of the corner four hundred cubits. 14And he took all the gold and the silver and all the vessels that were found in the house of LORD JEHOVAH and in the house of the treasury of the King, and the children of the mixed multitude, and he returned to Samaria.

15And the rest of the accounts of Yehoash and everything that he did, and his heroism, and that which he fought with Amutsia, King of Yehuda, behold, they are written in the book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel. 16And Yehoash slept with his parents, and he was buried in Samaria with the Kings of Israel, and Yorbaam his son reigned after him.

17And Amutsia son of Yoash King of Yehuda lived for fifteen years after Yehoash son of Yahuakhaz King of Israel was dead. 18And the rest of the accounts of Amutsia, behold, they are written in the book of The Chronicles of the Kings of Yehuda. 19And they provoked a rebellion against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lakish, and they sent after him to Lakish, and they killed him there. 20And they took him away, and they came on horses, and he was buried in Jerusalem with his parents in the city of David. 21And all the people of Yehuda took Uzzia, and he was a son of sixteen years, and they made him king instead of Amutsia his father. 22And he built Elath and he settled it for Yehuda; after that the King slept with his parents.

23In the fifteenth year of Amutsia, son of Yoash King of Yehuda, Yorbaam son of Yehoash, son of Yahuakhaz, King of Israel, reigned in Samaria forty and one years. 24And he did evil before LORD JEHOVAH and he did not turn aside from all the sins of Yorbaam, son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin, and he walked in them. 25And he restored the border to Israel from the entrance of Khamath and unto the Sea of Araba, according to the word of LORD JEHOVAH, God of Israel, which he spoke by the agency of his Servant Yonan, son of Mattai the Prophet, who was from Gadkhepher. 26Because LORD JEHOVAH saw the oppression of Israel, that it was very bitter, and there was no one who binds and none who releases, and no helper for Israel. 27And LORD JEHOVAH did not say to blot out the name of Israel from under Heaven, and he saved them by the hand of Yorbaam, son of Yehoash, son of Yahuakhaz.

28And the rest of the words of Yorbaam and everything that he did, and his heroism, and that which he fought, also he returned Darmsuq and Khamath to Israel, behold, they are written in the book of The Chronicles of the Kings of Israel. 29And Yorbaam slept with his parents, and he was buried with his parents with the Kings of Israel, and Zechariah his son reigned after him.
