유다의 9대 왕 아마샤

14 여호아하스의 아들인 여호아스왕 2년에 요아스의 아들 아마샤가 유다 왕이 되었다.

그는 25세에 왕위에 올라 예루살렘에서 29년을 통치하였다. 그리고 그의 어머니는 예루살렘 사람 [a]여호앗단이었다.

3-4 아마샤는 여호와께서 보시기에 옳은 일 을 하였으나 그의 조상 다윗 같지는 않았다. 그도 자기 아버지 요아스를 본받아 산당을 헐지 않았으므로 백성들은 계속 그 곳에 가서 제사를 지내며 분향하였다.

아마샤는 세력 기반을 튼튼하게 굳힌 다음 자기 아버지를 살해한 신하들을 처형시켰으나

그들의 자녀들은 죽이지 않았다. 이것은 모세의 율법책에 기록된 대로 부모는 자녀의 죄 때문에 죽어서는 안 되며 자녀도 부모의 죄 때문에 죽는 일이 있어서는 안 되고 모든 사람들은 각자 자기 죄에 대해서만 그 대가를 치러야 한다는 여호와의 명령에 그가 순종하였기 때문이었다.

아마샤는 ‘소금 골짜기’ 에서 에돔 사람 10,000명을 죽이고 또 셀라성을 정복하여 그 이름을 욕드엘이라고 불렀는데 그것이 지금까지 그대로 불려지고 있다.

그 후 아마샤는 예후의 손자이며 여호아하스의 아들인 이스라엘의 여호아스왕에게 정면으로 한번 겨루어 보자는 뜻을 전했다.

그러나 이스라엘의 여호아스왕은 아마샤에게 이런 회답을 보냈다. “한번은 레바논의 가시나무가 백향목에게 ‘네 딸을 내 아들에게 주어 아내를 삼게 하라’ 하였으나 바로 그때 들짐승이 지나가다가 그 가시나무를 짓밟아 버렸다.

10 네가 에돔을 쳐서 이기더니 대단히 교만해졌구나. 너는 현재의 영광을 만족스럽게 여기고 네 집이나 지키고 앉아 있거라. 어째서 네가 화를 스스로 불러일으켜 너와 유다가 함께 망하려고 하느냐?”

11 그러나 아마샤가 듣지 않으므로 이스라엘의 여호아스왕은 군대를 이끌고 가 유다의 벧 – 세메스에서 아마샤와 정면으로 충돌하였다.

12 그 전투에서 유다군은 패하여 모두 자기 집으로 도망치고 말았다.

13 여호아스는 거기서 아마샤를 생포하고 또 예루살렘으로 가서 에브라임문에서부터 성 모퉁이문까지 [b]180미터에 달하는 성벽을 헐고

14 성전과 궁전의 모든 금과 은과 기구를 약탈한 다음 많은 사람들을 인질로 잡아 사마리아로 돌아갔다.

15 그 밖에 여호아스가 행한 모든 일과 그가 유다의 아마샤왕과 싸운 전쟁 이야기는 이스라엘 왕들의 역사책에 기록되어 있다.

16 그는 죽어 이스라엘의 다른 왕들처럼 사마리아에 장사되었고 그의 아들 여로보암 2세가 왕위를 계승하였다.

17 이스라엘의 여호아스왕이 죽은 후에도 유다의 아마샤왕은 15년을 더 살았다.

18 아마샤가 행한 모든 일은 유다 왕들의 역사책에 기록되어 있다.

19 예루살렘에서 반역이 일어나자 아마샤는 라기스로 도망하였다. 그러나 반역자들은 그 곳까지 쫓아가서 그를 죽이고

20 그 시체는 말에 실어 예루살렘으로 가지고 와서 다윗성에 있는 그 조상들의 묘에 장사하였다.

21 그러고서 유다 사람들은 아마샤의 아들 [c]웃시야를 왕으로 삼았는데 그때 그의 나이는 16세였다.

22 웃시야는 자기 아버지가 죽은 다음에 엘랏을 다시 정복하여 재건하였다.

이스라엘의 13대 왕 여로보암 2세

23 요아스의 아들인 유다의 아마샤왕 15년에 여호아스의 아들인 여로보암 2세가 이스라엘의 왕이 되어 사마리아에서 41년을 통치하였다.

24 그러나 그는 여호와께서 보시기에 악을 행하며 이스라엘 백성을 범죄하게 한 느밧의 아들 여로보암 세를 본받아 그 죄에서 떠나지 않았다.

25 여로보암 2세는 이스라엘의 하나님 여호와께서 그의 종 가드 – 헤벨 사람 아밋대의 아들인 예언자 요나를 통하여 말씀하신 대로 북쪽 하맛 고개에서부터 남쪽 사해에 이르는 이스라엘의 모든 잃어버린 땅을 되찾았다.

26 여호와께서는 모든 이스라엘 사람들이 고통당하는 것과 그들을 도와줄 자가 없는 것을 보시고

27 또 이스라엘을 지상에서 완전히 없애 버리는 것이 그의 목적이 아니었으므로 여로보암 2세를 통하여 그들을 구해 주신 것이다.

28 그 밖에 여로보암 2세가 행한 모든 일과 그의 전쟁 이야기와 그리고 다마스커스와 하맛을 다시 정복한 일들은 이스라엘 왕들의 역사책에 기록되어 있다.

29 그는 죽어 자기 조상들 곁에 장사되었고 그의 아들 스가랴가 왕위를 계승하였다.

亚玛谢做犹大王

14 以色列王约哈斯的儿子约阿施执政第二年,犹大王约阿施的儿子亚玛谢登基。 他二十五岁登基,在耶路撒冷执政二十九年。他母亲叫约耶但,是耶路撒冷人。 亚玛谢做耶和华视为正的事,虽不如他祖先大卫,但事事效法他父亲约阿施。 然而,他没有拆毁丘坛,人们仍在那里献祭烧香。 他巩固了王位后,立即处死了杀他父王的臣仆, 但没有处死他们的孩子,遵照了耶和华在摩西律法书中的吩咐:“不可因孩子犯罪而处死父亲,也不可因父亲犯罪而处死孩子。各人要自负罪责。” 亚玛谢曾在盐谷杀了一万以东人,攻占了西拉,把西拉改名为约帖,沿用至今。

后来,亚玛谢差遣使者对耶户的孙子、约哈斯的儿子、以色列王约阿施说:“来,我们战场上见。” 以色列王约阿施派人对犹大王亚玛谢说:“黎巴嫩的蒺藜派使者去对黎巴嫩的香柏树说,‘将你女儿嫁给我儿子吧。’后来黎巴嫩的一只野兽经过,把那蒺藜践踏在脚下。 10 你打败了以东人就趾高气扬,还是待在家里庆祝胜利吧,何必惹祸上身,使你和犹大一同灭亡呢?”

11 但亚玛谢不理会他的劝告。于是,以色列王约阿施起兵攻打犹大王亚玛谢,两王会战于犹大的伯·示麦。 12 犹大人被以色列人打败,兵将都各自逃回家去了。 13 约阿施在伯·示麦擒获亚玛谢,然后前往耶路撒冷,拆毁从以法莲门到角门约一百八十米长的耶路撒冷城墙, 14 抢走耶和华殿里和王宫库房里的所有金银和器皿,并带着人质返回撒玛利亚。 15 约阿施其他的事,包括他怎样英勇对抗犹大王亚玛谢,都记在以色列的列王史上。 16 约阿施与祖先同眠后,葬在撒玛利亚的以色列王陵。他儿子耶罗波安继位。

17 以色列王约哈斯的儿子约阿施死后,犹大王约阿施的儿子亚玛谢又活了十五年。 18 亚玛谢其他的事都记在犹大的列王史上。 19 耶路撒冷有人谋反,亚玛谢就逃到拉吉,叛党派人追到那里杀了他。 20 有人用马将他的尸体驮回耶路撒冷,葬在大卫城他的祖坟里。 21 犹大民众拥立亚玛谢十六岁的儿子亚撒利雅[a]为王。 22 亚玛谢与祖先同眠后,亚撒利雅为犹大收回了以拉他,并重新修建。

耶罗波安二世

23 犹大王亚玛谢执政第十五年,以色列王约阿施的儿子耶罗波安在撒玛利亚登基,执政四十一年。 24 他做耶和华视为恶的事,没有离开尼八的儿子耶罗波安使以色列人犯的那些罪。 25 他收复了从哈马口到死海[b]一带的以色列边境,正如以色列的上帝耶和华借祂仆人迦特希弗人亚米太的儿子约拿先知所言。 26 因为耶和华看见以色列人,无论自由人还是奴隶都十分痛苦,没有人帮助他们。 27 耶和华没有说要从世上抹去以色列的名,因此他借着约阿施的儿子耶罗波安拯救他们。 28 耶罗波安其他的事及其一切所作所为,包括他怎样英勇收复大马士革和一度属犹大国的哈马,都记在以色列的列王史上。 29 耶罗波安与祖先——以色列的先王们同眠后,他儿子撒迦利雅继位。

Amaziah King of Judah(A)(B)

14 In the second year of Jehoash[a] son of Jehoahaz king of Israel, Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah began to reign. He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan; she was from Jerusalem. He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, but not as his father David had done. In everything he followed the example of his father Joash. The high places,(C) however, were not removed; the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense there.

After the kingdom was firmly in his grasp, he executed(D) the officials(E) who had murdered his father the king. Yet he did not put the children of the assassins to death, in accordance with what is written in the Book of the Law(F) of Moses where the Lord commanded: “Parents are not to be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sin.”[b](G)

He was the one who defeated ten thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt(H) and captured Sela(I) in battle, calling it Joktheel, the name it has to this day.

Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, with the challenge: “Come, let us face each other in battle.”

But Jehoash king of Israel replied to Amaziah king of Judah: “A thistle(J) in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, ‘Give your daughter to my son in marriage.’ Then a wild beast in Lebanon came along and trampled the thistle underfoot. 10 You have indeed defeated Edom and now you are arrogant.(K) Glory in your victory, but stay at home! Why ask for trouble and cause your own downfall and that of Judah also?”

11 Amaziah, however, would not listen, so Jehoash king of Israel attacked. He and Amaziah king of Judah faced each other at Beth Shemesh(L) in Judah. 12 Judah was routed by Israel, and every man fled to his home.(M) 13 Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh. Then Jehoash went to Jerusalem and broke down the wall(N) of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate(O) to the Corner Gate(P)—a section about four hundred cubits long.[c] 14 He took all the gold and silver and all the articles found in the temple of the Lord and in the treasuries of the royal palace. He also took hostages and returned to Samaria.

15 As for the other events of the reign of Jehoash, what he did and his achievements, including his war(Q) against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel? 16 Jehoash rested with his ancestors and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. And Jeroboam his son succeeded him as king.

17 Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah lived for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel. 18 As for the other events of Amaziah’s reign, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah?

19 They conspired(R) against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish,(S) but they sent men after him to Lachish and killed him there. 20 He was brought back by horse(T) and was buried in Jerusalem with his ancestors, in the City of David.

21 Then all the people of Judah took Azariah,[d](U) who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah. 22 He was the one who rebuilt Elath(V) and restored it to Judah after Amaziah rested with his ancestors.

Jeroboam II King of Israel

23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam(W) son of Jehoash king of Israel became king in Samaria, and he reigned forty-one years. 24 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord and did not turn away from any of the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit.(X) 25 He was the one who restored the boundaries of Israel from Lebo Hamath(Y) to the Dead Sea,[e](Z) in accordance with the word of the Lord, the God of Israel, spoken through his servant Jonah(AA) son of Amittai, the prophet from Gath Hepher.

26 The Lord had seen how bitterly everyone in Israel, whether slave or free,(AB) was suffering;[f](AC) there was no one to help them.(AD) 27 And since the Lord had not said he would blot out(AE) the name of Israel from under heaven, he saved(AF) them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Jehoash.

28 As for the other events of Jeroboam’s reign, all he did, and his military achievements, including how he recovered for Israel both Damascus(AG) and Hamath,(AH) which had belonged to Judah, are they not written in the book of the annals(AI) of the kings of Israel? 29 Jeroboam rested with his ancestors, the kings of Israel. And Zechariah his son succeeded him as king.

14 In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah.

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

And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, yet not like David his father: he did according to all things as Joash his father did.

Howbeit the high places were not taken away: as yet the people did sacrifice and burnt incense on the high places.

And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand, that he slew his servants which had slain the king his father.

But the children of the murderers he slew not: according unto that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein the Lord commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

He slew of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand, and took Selah by war, and called the name of it Joktheel unto this day.

Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look one another in the face.

And Jehoash the 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.

10 Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thine heart hath lifted thee up: glory of this, and tarry at home: for why shouldest thou meddle to thy hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?

11 But Amaziah would not hear. Therefore Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Bethshemesh, which belongeth to Judah.

12 And Judah was put to the worse before Israel; and they fled every man to their tents.

13 And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Bethshemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate, four hundred cubits.

14 And he took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house, and hostages, and returned to Samaria.

15 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

16 And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead.

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

18 And the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

19 Now they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem: and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him there.

20 And they brought him on horses: and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.

21 And all the people of Judah took Azariah, which was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah.

22 He built Elath, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers.

23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria, and reigned forty and one years.

24 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.

25 He restored the coast of Israel from the entering of Hamath unto the sea of the plain, according to the word of the Lord God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet, which was of Gathhepher.

26 For the Lord saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter: for there was not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for Israel.

27 And the Lord said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven: but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.

28 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which belonged to Judah, for Israel, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

29 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zachariah his son reigned in his stead.
