2 Hari 14
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang Paghahari ni Amazia sa Juda(A)
14 Naging hari ng Juda ang anak ni Joash na si Amazia nang ikalawang taon ng paghahari ng anak ni Jehoahaz na si Jehoash sa Israel. 2 Si Amazia ay 25 taong gulang nang maging hari. Sa Jerusalem siya tumira, at naghari siya sa loob ng 29 na taon. Ang ina niya ay si Jehoadin na taga-Jerusalem. 3 Matuwid ang ginawa niya sa paningin ng Panginoon, pero hindi kapantay ng ginawa ni David na ninuno niya. Sinunod niya ang ama niyang si Joash. 4 Hindi rin niya ipinagiba ang mga sambahan sa matataas na lugar, kaya nagpatuloy ang mga tao sa paghahandog at pagsusunog ng insenso roon.
5 Nang matatag na ang paghahari ni Amazia, ipinapatay niya ang mga opisyal na pumatay sa kanyang amang hari. 6 Pero hindi niya ipinapatay ang mga anak nila, dahil ayon sa nasusulat sa Aklat ng Kautusan ni Moises, sinabi ng Panginoon, “Huwag papatayin ang mga magulang dahil sa kasalanan ng kanilang mga anak, at ang mga anak ay hindi rin dapat patayin dahil sa kasalanan ng kanilang mga magulang. Ang taong nagkasala lamang ang dapat managot sa kanyang mga kasalanan.”
7 Si Amazia ang nakapatay ng 10,000 taga-Edom sa Lambak ng Asin. Nasakop niya ang Sela at pinalitan niya ang pangalan nito ng Jokteel, at hanggang sa kasalukuyan ito pa rin ang tawag sa lugar.
8 Isang araw, nagsugo si Amazia ng mga mensahero kay Haring Jehoash ng Israel, na anak ni Jehoahaz at apo ni Jehu. Hinamon niya si Jehoash at sinabi, “Makipaglaban ka sa akin.” 9 Pero sinagot siya ni Haring Jehoash sa pamamagitan ng kwentong ito: “Doon sa Lebanon ay may halamang may tinik na nagpadala ng mensahe sa puno ng sedro: ‘Ipakasal mo ang anak mong babae sa anak kong lalaki.’ Pero may dumaang hayop mula sa gubat at tinapak-tapakan ang halamang may tinik. 10 Amazia, totoong natalo mo ang Edom at ipinagyayabang mo ito. Magdiwang ka at huwag ka na lang makipaglaban sa amin. Manatili ka na lang sa iyong lugar. Bakit gusto mo ng gulo na magdadala lang ng kapahamakan sa iyo at sa Juda?”
11 Pero hindi nakinig si Amazia, kaya nilusob siya ni Haring Jehoash at ng mga sundalo nito. Naglaban sila sa Bet Shemesh na sakop ng Juda. 12 Natalo ng Israel ang Juda, at ang bawat sundalo ng Juda ay tumakas pauwi sa kanilang bahay. 13 Nadakip ni Haring Jehoash si Haring Amazia roon sa Bet Shemesh, at dinala niya siya sa Jerusalem. Pagkatapos, giniba ni Jehoash ang mga pader ng Jerusalem mula sa Pintuan ng Efraim hanggang sa Sulok na Pintuan, na mga 600 talampakan ang haba. 14 Kinuha niya ang lahat ng ginto, pilak at kagamitan na nakita niya sa templo ng Panginoon at kabang-yaman ng palasyo. Nagdala rin siya ng mga bihag pagbalik niya sa Samaria.
15 Ang iba pang salaysay tungkol sa paghahari ni Jehoash, at lahat ng ginawa niya at pagtatagumpay, pati ang pakikipaglaban kay Haring Amazia ng Juda ay nakasulat sa Aklat ng Kasaysayan ng mga hari ng Israel. 16 Nang mamatay si Jehoash, inilibing siya sa libingan ng mga hari ng Israel sa Samaria. At ang anak niyang si Jeroboam II ang pumalit sa kanya bilang hari.
17 Nabuhay pa si Haring Amazia ng Juda ng 15 taon matapos mamatay si Haring Jehoash ng Israel. 18 Ang iba pang salaysay tungkol sa paghahari ni Amazia ay nakasulat sa Aklat ng Kasaysayan ng mga hari ng Juda.
19 May mga taga-Jerusalem na nagplanong patayin si Amazia. Kaya tumakas siya papunta sa bayan ng Lakish, pero nagpadala sila ng tao para sundan siya roon at patayin. 20 Ikinarga sa kabayo ang bangkay niya pabalik sa Jerusalem at inilibing sa libingan ng mga ninuno niya sa Lungsod ni David. 21 Ipinalit ng mga taga-Juda si Azaria na anak ni Amazia bilang hari. Si Azaria[a] ay 16 na taong gulang nang maging hari. 22 Muli niyang itinayo ang Elat at naging bahagi ulit ito ng Juda nang mamatay ang ama niyang si Amazia.
Ang Paghahari ni Jeroboam II sa Israel
23 Nagsimulang maghari sa buong Israel ang anak ni Joash na si Jeroboam II nang ika-15 taon ng paghahari ni Amazia sa Juda. Sa Samaria siya nakatira, at naghari siya roon sa loob ng 41 taon. 24 Masama ang mga ginawa niya sa paningin ng Panginoon. Sumunod siya sa mga ginawa ni Jeroboam, na anak ni Nebat, na naging dahilan ng pagkakasala ng mga taga-Israel. 25 Nabawi niya ang mga teritoryo ng Israel sa pagitan ng Lebo Hamat hanggang sa Dagat na Patay[b] tulad ng ipinangako ng Panginoon, ang Dios ng Israel, sa pamamagitan ng anak ni Amitai na si Propeta Jonas na taga-Gat Hefer. 26 Niloob ng Panginoon na mangyari ito dahil nakita niya ang paghihirap ng mga Israelita, alipin man o hindi, at walang sinumang makakatulong sa kanila. 27 Dahil sinabi ng Panginoon na hindi niya aalisin ang Israel sa mundo, kaya iniligtas niya ang mga Israelita sa pamamagitan ni Jeroboam II na anak ni Joash.
28 Ang iba pang salaysay tungkol sa paghahari ni Jeroboam II, at lahat ng ginawa niya at pagtatagumpay, pati ang pagbawi niya sa Damascus at Hamat na sakop noon ng Juda,[c] ay nakasulat sa Aklat ng Kasaysayan ng mga hari ng Israel. 29 Nang mamatay si Jeroboam II, inilibing siya sa libingan ng mga hari ng Israel, at ang anak niyang si Zacarias ang pumalit sa kanya bilang hari.
2 Kings 14
Darby Translation
14 In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, began Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, to reign.
2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
3 And he did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, yet not like David his father: he did according to all that Joash his father had done.
4 Only, the high places were not removed: the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
5 And it came to pass when the kingdom was established in his hand, that he slew his servants who had smitten the king his father.
6 But the children of those that smote [him] he did not put to death; according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein Jehovah commanded saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
7 He smote of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand, and took Sela in the war, and called the name of it Joktheel to this day.
8 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.
9 And Jehoash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thorn-bush that is in Lebanon sent to the cedar that is in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son as wife; and there passed by the wild beast that is in Lebanon, and trode down the thorn-bush.
10 Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thy heart has lifted thee up: boast thyself, and abide at home; for why shouldest thou contend with misfortune, that thou shouldest fall, thou, and Judah with thee?
11 But Amaziah would not hear. And Jehoash king of Israel went up; and they looked one another in the face, he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Beth-shemesh, which is in Judah.
12 And Judah was routed before Israel; and they fled every man to his tent.
13 And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner-gate, four hundred cubits.
14 And he took all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the king's house, and hostages, and returned to Samaria.
15 And the rest of the acts of Jehoash, what 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 And they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish; and 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, who was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah.
22 It was he that built Elath, and restored it to Judah, after 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, for forty-one years.
24 And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah: he departed not from any of the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
25 He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath as far as the sea of the plain, according to the word of Jehovah the God of Israel, which he had spoken through his servant Jonah the prophet, the son of Amittai, who was of Gath-Hepher.
26 For Jehovah saw that the affliction of Israel was very bitter; and that there was not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for Israel.
27 And Jehovah had not said that he would blot out the name of Israel from under the heavens; and he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.
28 And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered for Israel that [which had belonged] to Judah in Damascus and in Hamath, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
29 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son reigned in his stead.
2 Kings 14
New International Version
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. 2 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. 3 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. 4 The high places,(C) however, were not removed; the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense there.
5 After the kingdom was firmly in his grasp, he executed(D) the officials(E) who had murdered his father the king. 6 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)
7 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.
8 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.”
9 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.
