12:013:020 And Elisha died, and they buried him.
And the bands of the
Moabites
invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
12:013:021 And it came to pass, as they were burying
a man, that, behold,
they
spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the
sepulchre
of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and
touched
the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his
feet.
12:013:022 But Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel
all the days of
Jehoahaz.
12:013:023 And the lord was gracious unto them,
and had compassion on
them,
and had respect unto them, because of his covenant
with
Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither
cast
he them from his presence as yet.
12:013:024 So Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad
his son reigned in
his
stead.
12:013:025 And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again
out of the hand of
Benhadad
the son of Hazael the cities, which he had taken out
of
the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Three
times did
Joash
beat him, and recovered the cities of Israel.
12:014:001 In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz
king of Israel
reigned
Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah.
12:014:002 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.
12:014:003 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.
12:014:004 Howbeit the high places were not taken
away: as yet the people
did
sacrifice and burnt incense on the high places.
12:014:005 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.
12:014:006 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.
12:014:007 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.
12:014:008 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.
