Ii Regum 14
1 anno secundo Ioas filii Ioachaz regis Israhel regnavit Amasias filius Ioas regis Iuda
In the second year of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, began to reign.
2 viginti quinque annorum erat cum regnare coepisset viginti autem et novem annis regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Ioaden de Hierusalem
He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jehoaddan, of Jerusalem.
3 et fecit rectum coram Domino verumtamen non ut David pater eius iuxta omnia quae fecit Ioas pater suus fecit
He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, yet not like David his father. He did everything that Joash, his father, had done.
4 nisi hoc tantum quod excelsa non abstulit adhuc enim populus immolabat et adolebat in excelsis
But the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense at the high places.
5 cumque obtinuisset regnum percussit servos suos qui interfecerant regem patrem suum
It came about that as soon as his rule was well established, he killed the servants who had murdered his father, the king.
6 filios autem eorum qui occiderant non occidit iuxta quod scriptum est in libro legis Mosi sicut praecepit Dominus dicens non morientur patres pro filiis neque filii morientur pro patribus sed unusquisque in peccato suo morietur
Yet he did not put the sons of the murderers to death; instead, he acted according to what was written in the Book of the Law Moses, as Yahweh had commanded, saying, “The fathers must not be put to death for their children, neither must the children be put to death for their parents. Instead, every person must be put to death for his own sin.”
7 ipse percussit Edom in valle Salinarum decem milia et adprehendit Petram in proelio vocavitque nomen eius Iecethel usque in praesentem diem
He killed ten thousand soldiers of Edom in the Valley of Salt; he also took Sela in war and called it Joktheel, which is what it is called to this day.
8 tunc misit Amasias nuntios ad Ioas filium Ioachaz filii Hieu regis Israhel dicens veni et videamus nos
Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu king of Israel, saying, “Come, let us meet each other face to face in battle.”
9 remisitque Ioas rex Israhel ad Amasiam regem Iuda dicens carduus Libani misit ad cedrum quae est in Libano dicens da filiam tuam filio meo uxorem transieruntque bestiae saltus quae sunt in Libano et conculcaverunt carduum
But Jehoash the king of Israel sent messengers back to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “A thistle that was in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, saying, 'Give your daughter to my son for a wife,' but a wild beast in Lebanon walked by and trampled down the thistle.
10 percutiens invaluisti super Edom et sublevavit te cor tuum contentus esto gloria et sede in domo tua quare provocas malum ut cadas tu et Iuda tecum
You have indeed attacked Edom, and your heart has lifted you up. Take pride in your victory, but stay at home, for why should you cause yourself trouble and fall, both you and Judah with you?”
11 et non adquievit Amasias ascenditque Ioas rex Israhel et viderunt se ipse et Amasias rex Iuda in Bethsames oppido Iudae
But Amaziah would not listen. So Jehoash king of Israel attacked and he and Amaziah king of Judah met each other face to face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.

Judah was defeated by Israel, and every man fled home.

Jehoash king of Israel, captured Amaziah, king of Judah son of Jehoash son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh. He came to Jerusalem and tore down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate, four hundred cubits in distance.
14 tulitque omne aurum et argentum et universa vasa quae inventa sunt in domo Domini et in thesauris regis et obsides et reversus est Samariam
He took all the gold and silver, all the objects that were found in the house of Yahweh, and the valuable things in the king's palace, with hostages also, and returned to Samaria.

As for the other matters concerning Jehoash, all that he did, his power, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel?
16 dormivitque Ioas cum patribus suis et sepultus est in Samaria cum regibus Israhel et regnavit Hieroboam filius eius pro eo
