that thou shouldest fall,
even
thou, and Judah with thee?
20
But Amaziah would not hear; for it
came
of God, that he might deliver them into the hand
of their enemies,
because they sought after the
gods of Edom.
21
So Joash the king of Israel went up; and they saw one another in the face,
both
he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Beth- shemesh, which
belongeth
to Judah.
22
And Judah was put
to the worse before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.
23
And Joash the king of Israel took
Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth-shemesh, and brought him
to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate,
four hundred cubits.
24
And
he took
all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found
in the house of God with Obed-edom, and the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and
returned to Samaria.
25
And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz
king of Israel fifteen years.
26

27
Now after the time that Amaziah did turn away from following the L
ORD
they made a
conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him,
and slew him there.
28
And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the
city of Judah.
CHAPTER CHRONICLES 26

was
sixteen years old, and made him king in the
room of his father Amaziah.
2
He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with
his fathers.
3
Sixteen years old
was
Uzziah when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and two
years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.

was
right in the sight of the L
ORD
, according to all that his father Amaziah did.
5
And he sought
God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he
sought the L
ORD
, God made him to prosper.
6
And he went forth and warred against the Philistines,
and brake down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and built cities
about Ashdod, and among the Philistines.
7

the Arabians that dwelt in Gur-baal, and the Mehunims.
8

and his name spread abroad
even
to the entering in of Egypt; for he strengthened
himself

11
Moreover Uzziah had an host
of fighting men, that went out to war by bands, according to the number of their account by the
