14:025:001 Amaziah was twenty and five years old when he began to reign,
           and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem.  And his
           mother’s name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.

14:025:002 And he did that which was right in the sight of the lord, but
           not with a perfect heart.

14:025:003 Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him,
           that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father.

14:025:004 But he slew not their children, but did as it is written in
           the law in the book of Moses, where the lord commanded,
           saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither
           shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall
           die for his own sin.

14:025:005 Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and made them
           captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, according
           to the houses of their fathers, throughout all Judah and
           Benjamin:  and he numbered them from twenty years old and
           above, and found them three hundred thousand choice men, able
           to go forth to war, that could handle spear and shield.

14:025:006 He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of
           Israel for an hundred talents of silver.

14:025:007 But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not
           the army of Israel go with thee; for the lord is not with
           Israel, to wit, with all the children of Ephraim.

14:025:008 But if thou wilt go, do it; be strong for the battle:  God
           shall make thee fall before the enemy:  for God hath power to
           help, and to cast down.

14:025:009 And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for
           the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? 
           And the man of God answered, The lord is able to give thee
           much more than this.

14:025:010 Then Amaziah separated them, to wit, the army that was come to
           him out of Ephraim, to go home again:  wherefore their anger
           was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in
           great anger.

14:025:011 And Amaziah strengthened himself, and led forth his people,
           and went to the valley of salt, and smote of the children of
           Seir ten thousand.

14:025:012 And other ten thousand left alive did the children of Judah
           carry away captive, and brought them unto the top of the rock,
           and cast them down from the top of the rock, that they all
           were broken in pieces.

14:025:013 But the soldiers of the army which Amaziah sent back, that
           they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of
           Judah, from Samaria even unto Bethhoron, and smote three
           thousand of them, and took much spoil.
