1Amaziah was 25 when he started his reign, and he ruled for 29 years in Jerusalem. His mom's name was Jehoaddan, straight outta Jerusalem.

2He did what was right in God's eyes, but his heart was kinda sus.

3Once the kingdom was his, he went savage and took out the servants who offed his dad, the king.

4But he didn’t touch their kids, keeping it real like it says in Moses' law: parents don’t get the blame for their kids, and vice versa. Everyone's gotta own their own mess.

5Amaziah gathered Judah and made them captains over thousands and hundreds, based on their fams, counting them from 20 and up. He found 300k solid men ready to pop off in battle, armed with spears and shields.

6He also hired 100k dope warriors from Israel for a hundred talents of silver.

7Then a man of God pulled up and said, "Yo king, don’t take the Israel army with you; God ain't riding with them, especially the kids of Ephraim."

8But if you still wanna go, be strong for the fight: God can make you win or take you down, no cap.

9Amaziah asked the man of God, "What about the hundred talents I gave to the Israel army?" The man of God said, "The Lord can bless you with way more than that."

10So, Amaziah sent the Ephraim army back home, and they were mad upset at Judah, storming back in anger.

11Amaziah got his vibe up, rallied his crew, and hit the valley of salt, taking out ten thousand of Seir's kids.

12Judah's squad took another ten thousand alive, dragged them to the rock's peak, and sent them crashing down like, "That’s savage."

13But the soldiers Amaziah sent back didn't chill; they rolled through Judah’s cities, from Samaria to Beth-horon, took out three thousand, and snagged mad loot.

14After he wiped out the Edomites, Amaziah brought back their gods, set them up as his new vibes, and started bowing down and burning incense like it was all good.

15This made the Lord mad, so He sent a prophet to Amaziah, like, “Why you tryna flex with gods that couldn’t even save their own peeps?”

16As they were chatting, the king was like, “You got the king’s rizz? Chill, or you might catch these hands.” The prophet backed off, saying he knew God was ready to take him down for ignoring the advice.

17Amaziah, king of Judah, took the hint and hit up Joash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, saying, “Yo, let’s meet face to face.”

18Joash, king of Israel, replied to Amaziah, “The thistle in Lebanon hit up the cedar, asking to marry his daughter, but a wild beast stomped the thistle down. No cap.”

19You’re saying you took out the Edomites and feeling yourself? Chill at home; why mess around and make it worse for yourself and Judah?

20But Amaziah didn’t listen; it was all part of God’s plan to hand them over to their enemies ‘cause they were vibing with the gods of Edom.

21So Joash, the king of Israel, pulled up, and they locked eyes, both him and Amaziah, king of Judah, at Beth-shemesh, which is all Judah's turf.

22Judah got wrecked by Israel, and everyone dipped back to their tents, no cap.

23Joash, the king of Israel, snatched up Amaziah, king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth-shemesh, and rolled him to Jerusalem, where he totally wrecked the wall from Ephraim gate to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.

24He took all the gold and silver, and everything lit found in God's house with Obed-edom, plus the king's treasures and hostages, and bounced back to Samaria.

25Amaziah, the son of Joash, king of Judah, vibed for fifteen years after Joash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, passed away.

26Now, the rest of Amaziah's moves, both the good and the bad, you bet they’re written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

27After Amaziah ghosted following the Lord, they plotted against him in Jerusalem; he bounced to Lachish, but they sent the squad after him and took him out there.

28They put him on horses and buried him with his fam in the city of Judah.

1Amaziah was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.

2And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, but not with a perfect heart.

3Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father.

4But he slew not their children, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, where the Lord 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 Amaziah gathered Judah together, and made them captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, according to the houses of their fathers, throughout all Judah and Benjamin: 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 Israel for an hundred talents of silver.

7But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for the Lord is not with Israel, to wit, with all the children of Ephraim.

8But if thou wilt go, do it, be strong for the battle: God shall make thee fall before the enemy: for God hath power to help, and to cast down.

9And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God answered, The Lord is able to give thee much more than this.

10Then Amaziah separated them, to wit, the army that was come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: wherefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in great anger.

11And Amaziah strengthened himself, and led forth his people, and went to the valley of salt, and smote of the children of Seir ten thousand.

12And other ten thousand left alive did the children of Judah 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 Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Beth–horon, and smote three thousand of them, and took much spoil.

14Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense unto them.

15Wherefore the anger of the Lord was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of thine hand?

16And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said unto him, Art thou made of the king’s counsel? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel.

17Then Amaziah king of Judah took advice, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us see one another in the face.

18And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.

19Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten the Edomites; and thine heart lifteth thee up to boast: abide now at home; why shouldest thou meddle to thine hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?

20But 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.

21So 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.

22And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.

23And 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.

24And 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.

25And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.

26Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?

27Now after the time that Amaziah did turn away from following the Lord they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him, and slew him there.

28And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
