25 Amazja var fem og tyve År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede ni og tyve År i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Jehoaddan og var fra Jerusalem. 2 Han gjorde, hvad der var ret i Herrens Øjne, dog ikke med et helt Hjerte. 3 Da han havde sikret sig Magten, lod han dem af sine Folk dræbe, der havde dræbt hans Fader Kongen, 4 men deres Børn lod han ikke ihjelslå, i Henhold til hvad der står skrevet i Moses's Lovbog, hvor Herren påbyder: "Fædre skal ikke lide Døden for Børns Skyld, og Børn skal ikke lide Døden for Fædres Skyld. Men enhver skal lide Døden for sin egen Synd."
5 Amazja samlede Judæerne og opstillede dem efter Fædrenehuse under Tusind- og Hundredførerne, hele Juda og Benjamin, og da han mnønstrede dem fra Tyveårsalderen og opefter, fandt han, at de udgjorde 300.000 udvalgte Folk, øvede Krigere, der har Skjold og Spyd. 6 Dertil lejede han i Israel 100.000 dygtige Krigere for 100 Sølvtalenter. 7 Men en Guds Mand kom til ham og sagde: "Israels Hær må ikke følge dig, Konge, thi Herren er ikke med Israel, ikke med nogen af Efraimiterne; 8 og hvis du mener, at du kan vinde Styrke på den Måde, vil Gud bringe dig til Fald for Fjenden, thi hos Gud er der Kraft til at hjælpe og til at bringe til Fald!" 9 Amazja spurgte den Guds Mand: "Hvad så med de 100 Sølvtalenter, jeg gav de israelitiske Krigsfolk?" Og den Guds Mand svarede: "Herren kan give dig langt mere end det!" 10 Da udskilte Amazja de Krigsfolk, der var kommet til ham fra Efraim, og lod dem drage hjem; men deres Vrede blussede heftigt op mod Juda, og de vendte hjem i fnysende Vrede.
11 Amazja tog nu Mod til sig og førte sine Krigere til Saltdalen og nedhuggede 10.000 af Se'iriterne; 12 desuden tog Judæerne 10.000 levende til Fange; dem førte de op på Klippens Top og styrtede dem ned derfra, så de alle knustes. 13 Men de Krigsfolk, Amazja havde sendt hjem, så de ikke kom til at følge ham i Krigen, faldt ind i Judas Byer fra Samaria til Bet-Horon, huggede 3.000 af Indbyggerne ned og gjorde stort Bytte.
14 Da Amazja kom hjem fra Sejren over Edomiterne, havde han Se'iriternes Guder med, og han opstillede dem som sine Guder, tilbad dem og tændte Offerild for dem. 15 Da blussede Herrens Vrede op mod Amazja, og han sendte en Profet til ham, og denne sagde til ham: "Hvorfor søger du dette Folks Guder, som ikke kunde frelse deres Folk af din Hånd?" 16 Men da han talte således, sagde Kongen til ham: "Har man gjort dig til Kongens Rådgiver? Hold inde, ellers bliver du slået ihjel!" Da holdt Profeten inde og sagde: "Jeg indser, at Gud har i Sinde at ødelægge dig, siden du bærer dig således ad og ikke hører mit Råd!"
17 Efter at have overtænkt Sagen sendte Kong Amazja af Juda Bud til Jehus Søn Joahaz's Søn, Kong Joas af Israel, og lod sige: "Kom, lad os se hinanden under Øjne!" 18 Men Kong Joas af Israel sendte Kong Amazja, af Juda det Svar: "Tidselen på Libanon sendte engang det Bud til Cederen på Libanon: Giv min Søn din Datter til Ægte! Men Libanons vilde Dyr løb hen over Tidselen og trampede den ned! 19 Du tænker: Se, jeg har slået Edom! Og det har gjort dig overmodig, så du vil vinde mere Ære. Bliv, hvor du er! Hvorfor vil du udfordre Ulykken og udsætte både dig selv og Juda for Fald?" 20 Men Amazja vilde intet høre, thi Gud føjede det såledesfor at give dem til Pris, fordi de søgte Edoms Guder. 21 Så drog Kong Joas af Israel ud, og han og Kong Amazja af Juda så hinanden under Øjne ved Bet-Sjemesj i Juda; 22 Juda blev slået af Israel, og de flygtede hver til sit. 23 Men Kong Joas af Israel tog Joahaz's Søn Joas's Søn, Kong Amazja af Juda, tifange ved Bet-Sjemesj og førte ham til Jerusalem. Derpå nedrev han Jerusalems Mur på en Strækning af 400 Alen, fra Efraimsporten til Hjørneporten; 24 og han tog alt det Guld og Sølv og alle de Kar, der fandtes i Guds Hus hos Obed-Edom og i Skatkammeret i Kongens Palads; desuden tog han Gidsler og vendte så tilbage til Samaria.
25 Joas's Søn, Kong Amazja af Juda, levede endnu femten År, efter at Joahaz's Søn, Kong Joas at Israel, var død. 26 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Amazja fra først til sidst, står optegnet i Bogen om Judas og Israels Konger. 27 Men ved den Tid Amazja faldt fra Herren, stiftedes der en Sammensværgelse mod ham i Jerusalem, og han flygtede til Lakisj, men der blev sendt Folk efter ham til Lakisj, og de dræbte ham der. 28 Så løftede man ham op på Heste og jordede ham hos hans Fædre i Davidsbyen.
26 Alt Folket i Juda tog så Uzzija, der da var seksten År gammel, og gjorde ham til Konge i hans Fader Amazjas Sted. 2 Det var ham, der befæstede Elot og atter forenede det med Juda efter at Kongen havde lagt sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre. 3 Uzzija var seksten År gammel da han blev Konge, og han herskede to og halvtredsindstyve År i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Jekolja og var fra Jerusalem. 4 Han gjorde, hvad der var ret i Herrens Øjne, ganske som hans Fader Amazja; 5 og han blev ved med at søge Gud, så længe Zekarja, der havde undervist ham i Gudsfrygt, levede. Og så længe han søgte Herren, gav Gud ham Lykke.
6 Han gjorde et Krigstog mod Filisterne og nedrev Bymurene i Gat, Jabne og Asdod og byggede Byer i Asdods Område og Filisterlandet. 7 Gud hjalp ham mod Filisterne og Araberne, der boede i Gur-Ba'al og mod Me'uniterne. 8 Atnmoniterne svarede Uzzija Skat, og hans Ry nåede til Ægypten, thi han blev overmåde mægtig. 9 Og Uzzija byggede Tårne i Jerusalem ved Hjørneporten, Dalporten og Murhjørnet og befæstede 10 Fremdeles byggede han Tårne i Ørkenen og lod mange Cisterner udhugge, thi han havde store Hjorde både i Lavlandet og på Højsletten, der hos Agerdyrkere og Vingårdsmænd på Bjergene og i Frugtlandet, thi han var ivrig Landmand. 11 Og Uzzija havde en øvet Krigshær, der drog i Krig Deling for Deling i det Tal, der fremgik af Mønstringen, som Statsskriveren Je'uel og Retsskriveren Ma'aseja foretog under Tilsyn af Hananja, en at Kongens Øverster. 12 Det fulde Tal på de dygtige Krigere, som var Overhoveder for Fædrenehusene, var 2600. 13 Under deres Befaling stod en Hærstyrke på 307500 krigsvante Folk i deres fulde Kraft til at hjælpe Kongen mod Fjenden. 14 Uzzija udrustede hele Hæren med Skjolde, Spyd, Hjelme, Brynjer, Buer og Slyngesten. 15 Ligeledes lod han i Jerusalem lave snildt udtænkte Krigsmaskiner, der opstilledes på Tårnene og Murtinderne til at udslynge Pile og store Sten. Og hans Ry nåede viden om, thi på underfuld Måde blev han hjulpet til stor Magt.
16 Men da han var blevet mægtig, blev hans Hjerte overmodigt, så han gjorde, hvad fordærveligt var; han handlede troløst mod Herren sin Gud, idet han gik ind i Herrens Helligdom for at brænde Røgelse på Røgelsealteret. 17 Præsten Azarja fulgte efter ham, ledsaget af firsindstyve af Herrens Præster, modige Mænd; 18 og de trådte frem for Kong Uzzija og sagde til ham: "At ofre Herren Røgelse tilkommer ikke dig, Uzzija, men Arons Sønner, Præsterne, som er helliget til at ofre Røgelse; gå ud af Helligdommen, thi du har handlet troløst, og det tjener dig ikke til Ære for Herren din Gud!" 19 Uzzija, der holdt Røgelsekarret i Hånden for at brænde Røgelse, blev rasende; men som han rasede mod Præsterne, slog Spedalskhed ud på hans Pande, medens han stod der over for Præsterne foran Røgelsealteret i Herrens Hus; 20 og da Ypperstepræsten Azarja og alle Præsterne vendte sig imod ham, se, da var han spedalsk i Panden. Så førte de ham hastigt bort derfra, og selv fik han travlt med at komme ud, fordi Herren havde ramt ham. 21 Så var Kong Uzzija spedalsk til sin Dødedag; og skønt spedalsk fik han Lov at blive boende i sit Hus, men var udelukket fra Herrens Hus, medens hans Søn Jotam rådede i Kongens Palads og dømte Folket i Landet.
22 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Uzzija fra først til sidst, har Profeten Esajas, Amoz's Søn, optegnet. 23 Så lagde han sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre, og man jordede ham hos hans Fædre på den Mark, hor Kongegravene var, under Hensyn til at han havde været spedalsk; og hans Søn Jotam blev Konge i hans Sted.
27 Jotam var fem og tyve År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede seksten År i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Jerusja og var Datter af Zadok. 2 Han gjorde, hvad der var ret i Herrens Øjne, ganske som hans Fader Uzzija havde gjort, men han gik ikke ind i Herrens Helligdom. Men Folket gjorde fremdeles, hvad fordærveligt var. 3 Det var ham, der opførte Øvreporten i Herrens Hus, og desuden byggede han meget på Ofels Mur. 4 Han opførte Byer i Judas Bjerge og Borge og Tårne i Skovene. 5 Han førte Krig med Ammoniternes Konge og overvandt dem, så Ammoniterne det År måtte svare ham 100 Talenter Sølv, 10.000 Kor Hvede og 10.000 Kor Byg i Skat; og lige så meget svarede Ammoniterne ham det andet og tredje År. 6 Således blev Jotam stærk, fordi han vandrede troligt for Herren sin Guds Åsyn. 7 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Jotam, alle hans Krige og Foretagender, står jo optegnet i Bogen om Israels og Judas Konger. 8 Han var fem og tyve År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede seksten År i Jerusalem. 9 Så lagde Jotam sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre, og man jordede ham i Davidsbyen; oghans Søn Akazblev Konge i hans Sted.

2 Chronicles 25-27
New International Version
Amaziah King of Judah(A)(B)(C)
25 Amaziah 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. 2 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, but not wholeheartedly.(D) 3 After the kingdom was firmly in his control, he executed the officials who had murdered his father the king. 4 Yet he did not put their children to death, but acted in accordance with what is written in the Law, in the Book of Moses,(E) where the Lord commanded: “Parents shall not be put to death for their children, nor children be put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sin.”[a](F)
5 Amaziah called the people of Judah together and assigned them according to their families to commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds for all Judah and Benjamin. He then mustered(G) those twenty years old(H) or more and found that there were three hundred thousand men fit for military service,(I) able to handle the spear and shield. 6 He also hired a hundred thousand fighting men from Israel for a hundred talents[b] of silver.
7 But a man of God came to him and said, “Your Majesty, these troops from Israel(J) must not march with you, for the Lord is not with Israel—not with any of the people of Ephraim. 8 Even if you go and fight courageously in battle, God will overthrow you before the enemy, for God has the power to help or to overthrow.”(K)
9 Amaziah asked the man of God, “But what about the hundred talents I paid for these Israelite troops?”
The man of God replied, “The Lord can give you much more than that.”(L)
10 So Amaziah dismissed the troops who had come to him from Ephraim and sent them home. They were furious with Judah and left for home in a great rage.(M)
11 Amaziah then marshaled his strength and led his army to the Valley of Salt, where he killed ten thousand men of Seir. 12 The army of Judah also captured ten thousand men alive, took them to the top of a cliff and threw them down so that all were dashed to pieces.(N)
13 Meanwhile the troops that Amaziah had sent back and had not allowed to take part in the war raided towns belonging to Judah from Samaria to Beth Horon. They killed three thousand people and carried off great quantities of plunder.
14 When Amaziah returned from slaughtering the Edomites, he brought back the gods of the people of Seir. He set them up as his own gods,(O) bowed down to them and burned sacrifices to them. 15 The anger of the Lord burned against Amaziah, and he sent a prophet to him, who said, “Why do you consult this people’s gods, which could not save(P) their own people from your hand?”
16 While he was still speaking, the king said to him, “Have we appointed you an adviser to the king? Stop! Why be struck down?”
So the prophet stopped but said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel.”
17 After Amaziah king of Judah consulted his advisers, he sent this challenge to Jehoash[c] son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel: “Come, let us face each other in battle.”
18 But Jehoash king of Israel replied to Amaziah king of Judah: “A thistle(Q) 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. 19 You say to yourself that you have defeated Edom, and now you are arrogant and proud. But stay at home! Why ask for trouble and cause your own downfall and that of Judah also?”
20 Amaziah, however, would not listen, for God so worked that he might deliver them into the hands of Jehoash, because they sought the gods of Edom.(R) 21 So Jehoash king of Israel attacked. He and Amaziah king of Judah faced each other at Beth Shemesh in Judah. 22 Judah was routed by Israel, and every man fled to his home. 23 Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Ahaziah,[d] at Beth Shemesh. Then Jehoash brought him to Jerusalem and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate(S) to the Corner Gate(T)—a section about four hundred cubits[e] long. 24 He took all the gold and silver and all the articles found in the temple of God that had been in the care of Obed-Edom,(U) together with the palace treasures and the hostages, and returned to Samaria.
25 Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah lived for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel. 26 As for the other events of Amaziah’s reign, from beginning to end, are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel? 27 From the time that Amaziah turned away from following the Lord, they conspired against him in Jerusalem and he fled to Lachish(V), but they sent men after him to Lachish and killed him there. 28 He was brought back by horse and was buried with his ancestors in the City of Judah.[f]
Uzziah King of Judah(W)(X)
26 Then all the people of Judah(Y) took Uzziah,[g] who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah. 2 He was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after Amaziah rested with his ancestors.
3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two years. His mother’s name was Jekoliah; she was from Jerusalem. 4 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Amaziah had done. 5 He sought God during the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the fear[h] of God.(Z) As long as he sought the Lord, God gave him success.(AA)
6 He went to war against the Philistines(AB) and broke down the walls of Gath, Jabneh and Ashdod.(AC) He then rebuilt towns near Ashdod and elsewhere among the Philistines. 7 God helped him against the Philistines and against the Arabs(AD) who lived in Gur Baal and against the Meunites.(AE) 8 The Ammonites(AF) brought tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread as far as the border of Egypt, because he had become very powerful.
9 Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate,(AG) at the Valley Gate(AH) and at the angle of the wall, and he fortified them. 10 He also built towers in the wilderness and dug many cisterns, because he had much livestock in the foothills and in the plain. He had people working his fields and vineyards in the hills and in the fertile lands, for he loved the soil.
11 Uzziah had a well-trained army, ready to go out by divisions according to their numbers as mustered by Jeiel the secretary and Maaseiah the officer under the direction of Hananiah, one of the royal officials. 12 The total number of family leaders over the fighting men was 2,600. 13 Under their command was an army of 307,500 men trained for war, a powerful force to support the king against his enemies. 14 Uzziah provided shields, spears, helmets, coats of armor, bows and slingstones for the entire army.(AI) 15 In Jerusalem he made devices invented for use on the towers and on the corner defenses so that soldiers could shoot arrows and hurl large stones from the walls. His fame spread far and wide, for he was greatly helped until he became powerful.
16 But after Uzziah became powerful, his pride(AJ) led to his downfall.(AK) He was unfaithful(AL) to the Lord his God, and entered the temple of the Lord to burn incense(AM) on the altar of incense. 17 Azariah(AN) the priest with eighty other courageous priests of the Lord followed him in. 18 They confronted King Uzziah and said, “It is not right for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord. That is for the priests,(AO) the descendants(AP) of Aaron,(AQ) who have been consecrated to burn incense.(AR) Leave the sanctuary, for you have been unfaithful; and you will not be honored by the Lord God.”
19 Uzziah, who had a censer in his hand ready to burn incense, became angry. While he was raging at the priests in their presence before the incense altar in the Lord’s temple, leprosy[i](AS) broke out on his forehead. 20 When Azariah the chief priest and all the other priests looked at him, they saw that he had leprosy on his forehead, so they hurried him out. Indeed, he himself was eager to leave, because the Lord had afflicted him.
21 King Uzziah had leprosy until the day he died. He lived in a separate house[j](AT)—leprous, and banned from the temple of the Lord. Jotham his son had charge of the palace and governed the people of the land.
22 The other events of Uzziah’s reign, from beginning to end, are recorded by the prophet Isaiah(AU) son of Amoz. 23 Uzziah(AV) rested with his ancestors and was buried near them in a cemetery that belonged to the kings, for people said, “He had leprosy.” And Jotham his son succeeded him as king.(AW)
Jotham King of Judah(AX)
27 Jotham(AY) was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother’s name was Jerusha daughter of Zadok. 2 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Uzziah had done, but unlike him he did not enter the temple of the Lord. The people, however, continued their corrupt practices. 3 Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the temple of the Lord and did extensive work on the wall at the hill of Ophel.(AZ) 4 He built towns in the hill country of Judah and forts and towers in the wooded areas.
5 Jotham waged war against the king of the Ammonites(BA) and conquered them. That year the Ammonites paid him a hundred talents[k] of silver, ten thousand cors[l] of wheat and ten thousand cors[m] of barley. The Ammonites brought him the same amount also in the second and third years.
6 Jotham grew powerful(BB) because he walked steadfastly before the Lord his God.
7 The other events in Jotham’s reign, including all his wars and the other things he did, are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. 8 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. 9 Jotham rested with his ancestors and was buried in the City of David. And Ahaz his son succeeded him as king.
