2 Kings 14 — Scripture text (King James Version)
In the second8147 year8141 of 3101 son1121 of Jehoahaz3099 king4428 of 3478 reigned4427 558 the son1121 of 3101 king4428 of 3063. He was twenty6242 and five2568 years8141 old1121 when he began to reign4427, and reigned4427 twenty6242 and nine8672 years8141 in 3389. And his mother's517 name8034 was Jehoaddan3086 of 3389. And he did6213 that which was right3477 in the sight5869 of the LORD3068, yet7535 not like 1732 his father1: he did6213 according to all things as 3101 his father1 did6213. Howbeit the high places1116 were not taken away5493: as yet5750 the people5971 did sacrifice2076 and burnt incense6999 the high places1116. And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom4467 was confirmed2388 in his hand3027, that he slew5221 his servants5650 which had slain5221 the king4428 his father1. But the children1121 of the murderers5221 he slew4191 not: according unto that which is written3789 in the book5612 of 8451 of 4872, wherein the LORD3068 commanded6680, saying559, The fathers1 shall not be to death4191 for the children1121, nor the children1121 be to death4191 for the fathers1; but every man376 shall be to death4191 for his own sin2399. He slew5221 of 123 in the valley1516 of salt4417 ten6235 thousand505, and took8610 Selah5554 by war4421, and called7121 the name8034 of it Joktheel3371 unto this day3117. Selah: or, the rock Then 558 sent7971 messengers4397 to Jehoash3060, the son1121 of Jehoahaz3059 son1121 of 3058, king4428 of 3478, saying559, Come3212, let us look7200 one another in the face6440. And Jehoash3060 the king4428 of 3478 sent7971 to 558 king4428 of 3063, saying559, The thistle2336 that was in Lebanon3844 sent7971 to the cedar730 that was in Lebanon3844, saying559, Give5414 thy daughter1323 to my son1121 to wife802: and there passed5674 by a wild7704 beast2416 that was in Lebanon3844, and trode down7429 the thistle2336. Thou hast indeed5221 smitten5221 123, and thine heart3820 hath lifted thee up5375: 3513 of this, and tarry3427 at home1004: for why shouldest thou meddle1624 to thy hurt7451, that thou shouldest fall5307, even thou, and 3063 with thee? at home: Heb. at thy house But 558 would not hear8085. Therefore Jehoash3060 king4428 of 3478 went up5927; and he and 558 king4428 of 3063 looked7200 one another in the face6440 at Bethshemesh1053, which belongeth to 3063. And 3063 was to the worse5062 before6440 3478; and they fled5127 every man376 to their tents168. : Heb. smitten And Jehoash3060 king4428 of 3478 took8610 558 king4428 of 3063, the son1121 of Jehoash3060 the son1121 of Ahaziah274, at Bethshemesh1053, and came935 to 3389, and brake down6555 the wall2346 of 3389 from the gate8179 of 669 unto the corner6438 gate8179, four702 hundred3967 520. And he took3947 all the gold2091 and silver3701, and all the vessels3627 that were found4672 in the house1004 of the LORD3068, and in the treasures214 of the king's4428 house1004, and hostages1121 8594, and returned7725 to 8111. Now the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Jehoash3060 which he did6213, and his might1369, and how he fought3898 with 558 king4428 of 3063, are they not written3789 in the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of 3478? And Jehoash3060 slept7901 with his fathers1, and was buried6912 in 8111 with the kings4428 of 3478; and 3379 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead. And 558 the son1121 of 3101 king4428 of 3063 lived2421 after310 the death4194 of Jehoash3060 son1121 of Jehoahaz3059 king4428 of 3478 fifteen2568 6240 years8141. And the rest3499 of the acts1697 of 558, are they not written3789 in the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of 3063? Now they made7194 a conspiracy7195 against him in 3389: and he fled5127 to 3923; but they sent7971 after310 him to 3923, and slew4191 him there. And they brought5375 him horses5483: and he was buried6912 at 3389 with his fathers1 in the city5892 of 1732. And all the people5971 of 3063 took3947 Azariah5838, which was sixteen8337 6240 years8141 old1121, and made him king4427 instead of his father1 558. He built1129 Elath359, and restored7725 it to 3063, after310 that the king4428 slept7901 with his fathers1. In the fifteenth2568 6240 8141 year8141 of 558 the son1121 of 3101 king4428 of 3063 3379 the son1121 of 3101 king4428 of 3478 began to reign4427 in 8111, and reigned forty705 and one259 years8141. And he did6213 that which was evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD3068: he departed5493 not from all the sins2403 of 3379 the son1121 of Nebat5028, who made 3478 to sin2398. He restored7725 the coast1366 of 3478 from the entering935 of 2574 unto the sea3220 of the plain6160, according to 1697 of the LORD3068 God430 of 3478, which he spake1696 by the hand3027 of his servant5650 3124, the son1121 of Amittai573, the prophet5030, which was of Gathhepher1662. For the LORD3068 saw7200 the affliction6040 of 3478, that it was very3966 bitter4784: for there was not657 any shut up6113, nor any left5800, nor any helper5826 for 3478. And the LORD3068 said1696 not that he would blot out4229 the name8034 of 3478 from under heaven8064: but he saved3467 them by the hand3027 of 3379 the son1121 of 3101. Now the rest3499 of the acts1697 of 3379, and all that he did6213, and his might1369, how he warred3898, and how he recovered7725 1834, and 2574, which belonged to 3063, for 3478, are they not written3789 in the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of 3478? And 3379 slept7901 with his fathers1, even with the kings4428 of 3478; and Zachariah2148 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead.
