Amaziah Reigns in Judah

2 Kings 14:1-7

In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned hath Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah;

a son of twenty and five years was he in his reigning, and twenty and nine years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother is Jehoaddan of Jerusalem,

and he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah, only not like David his father, according to all that Joash his father did he hath done,

only, the high places have not turned aside--yet are the people sacrificing and making perfume in high places.

And it cometh to pass, when the kingdom hath been strong in his hand, that he smiteth his servants, those smiting the king his father,

and the sons of those smiting him he hath not put to death, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses that Jehovah commanded, saying, `Fathers are not put to death for sons, and sons are not put to death for fathers, but each for his own sin is put to death.'

He hath smitten Edom, in the valley of salt--ten thousand, and seized Selah in war, and one calleth its name Joktheel unto this day,
