And his mother's name Jehoaddan, from Jerusalem. 3And he will do the straight in the eyes of Jehovah, but not according to David his father: he did according to all which his father Joash: did. 4But the heights were not turned away: the people yet sacrificing and burning incense in the heights. 5And it will be when the kingdom was strengthened in his hand, and he will smite his servants striking the king his father. 6The sons of those striking he put not to death: according as it was written in the book of the Laws of Moses which Jehovah commanded, saying, Fathers shall not be put to death for sons, and sons shall not be put to death for fathers; but a man shall be put to death in his sin.

7He struck Edom in the valley of salt, ten thousand; and he seized the rock in war, and he will call its name Joktheel, even to this day.

11And Amaziah heard not And Jehoash king of Israel will come up, and they will see faces, he and Amaziah king of Judah, in the house of the sun, which was to Judah. 12And Judah will be smitten before Israel; and they will flee a man to his tent. 13And Jehoash king of Israel seized Amaziah king of Judah, son of Jehoash son of Ahaziah, in the house of the sun; and he will come to Jerusalem, and he will break in the wall of Jerusalem in the gate of Ephraim, even to the gate of the corner, four hundred cubits. 14And he took all the gold and the silver and all the vessels being found in the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the king's house, and the sons of suretyship, and he will turn back to Shomeron.
