He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign; and nine and twenty years he reigned in Jerusalem; the name of his mother was Joadan, of Jerusalem.
Amasias was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem, the name of his mother was Joadan of Jerusalem.
Ὢν εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε ἐτῶν ἐβασίλευσεν Ἀμασίας, καὶ εἰκοσιεννέα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Ἰωαδαὲν ἀπὸ Ἱερουσαλήμ.

25:2 Fecitque bonum in conspectu Domini, verumtamen non in corde perfecto.
*H And he did what was good in the sight of the Lord: but yet not with a perfect heart.
Ver. 2. Heart, and with perseverance.

25:3 Cumque roboratum sibi videret imperium, jugulavit servos qui occiderant regem patrem suum,
And when he saw himself strengthened in his kingdom, he put to death the servants that had slain the king his father.
Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς κατέστη ἡ βασιλεία ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐθανάτωσε τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ τοὺς φονεύσαντας τὸυ βασιλέα πατέρα αὐτοῦ·

25:4 sed filios eorum non interfecit, sicut scriptum est in libro legis Moysi, ubi praecepit Dominus, dicens : Non occidentur patres pro filiis, neque filii pro patribus suis, sed unusquisque in suo peccato morietur.

But the children of the murderers he did not put to death, according to 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, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: but every man shall die for his own sin.

The soul that sinneth, the same shall die: the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, and the father shall not bear the iniquity of the son: the justice of the just shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
But he slew not their children, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, where the Lord commanded, saying: The fathers shall not be slain for the children, nor the children for their fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.

25:5 Congregavit igitur Amasias Judam, et constituit eos per familias, tribunosque et centuriones in universo Juda et Benjamin : et recensuit a viginti annis supra, invenitque trecenta millia juvenum qui egrederentur ad pugnam, et tenerent hastam et clypeum :
*H Amasias therefore gathered Juda together, and appointed them by families, and captains of thousands and of hundreds in all Juda, and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and upwards, and found three hundred thousand young men that could go out to battle, and could hold the spear and shield.
Ver. 5. Families. The officers were well acquainted with their soldiers; (C.) and all were more interested for each other's welfare, (D.) than they are in the present system. C. — Young. Prot. "choice men, able to go." H.
Καὶ συνήγαγεν Ἀμασίας τὸν οἶκον Ἰούδα, καὶ ἀνέστησεν αὐτοὺς κατʼ οἴκους πατριῶν αὐτῶν εἰς χιλιάρχους καὶ ἑκατοντάρχους ἐν παντὶ Ἰούδᾳ καὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ· καὶ ἠρίθμησεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ εἰκοσαετοῦς καὶ ἐπάνω, καὶ εὗρεν αὐτοὺς τριακοσίας χιλιάδας ἐξελθεῖν εἰς πόλεμον δυνατοὺς, κρατοῦντας δόρυ καὶ θυρεόν.

25:6 mercede quoque conduxit de Israel centum millia robustorum, centum talentis argenti.
*H He hired also of Israel a hundred thousand valiant men, for a hundred talents of silver.
Ver. 6. Thousand. Yet "they were so greatly reduced, but a few years before, that there were left....only fifty horsemen," &c. 4 K. xiii. 7. Kennicott — That might be true, at one time, when the people fled from the king's banners, through fear. But they were still in the country, and God gave Israel a saviour. ib. v. 5. See C. xiii. 3. and xvii. 19. H. — Silver. This sum was very small, for so great a multitude. Salien suspects talents of gold are meant, though the soldiers were paid in silver. But the sum was only the hire for a short time; (M.) and was not distributed among the soldiers, who were to live on plunder, but went into the king's coffers, (C.) or belonged to the officers alone. Mariana. D. — The talent of silver was worth 342l. 3s. 9d. Arbuthnot.

25:7 Venit autem homo Dei ad illum, et ait : O rex, ne egrediatur tecum exercitus Israel : non est enim Dominus cum Israel, et cunctis filiis Ephraim :
But a man of God came to him, and said: O king, let not the army of Israel go out with thee, for the Lord is not with Israel, and all the children of Ephraim:
Καὶ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ ἦλθε πρὸς αὐτὸν, λέγων, βασιλεῦ, οὐ πορεύσεται μετὰ σοῦ δύναμις Ἰσραὴλ, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστι Κύριος μετὰ Ἰσραὴλ πάντων τῶν υἱῶν Ἐφραίμ.

25:8 quod si putas in robore exercitus bella consistere, superari te faciet Deus ab hostibus : Dei quippe est et adjuvare, et in fugam convertere.
*H And if thou think that battles consist in the strength of the army, God will make thee to be overcome by the enemies: for it belongeth to God both to help, and to put to flight.
Ver. 8. And. Heb. "But if thou wilt go, do; be strong; (he speaks ironically) God," &c. Sept. "if thou thinkest that thou art strong with these, the Lord," &c. Amasias ought to have known that no dependance was to be placed on Israel, while they despised God. C. xv. 2.
Ὅτι ἐὰν ὑπολάβῃς κατισχῦσαι ἐν τούτοις, καὶ τροπώσεταί σε Κύριος ἐναντίον τῶν ἐχθρῶν, ὅτι ἐστὶ παρὰ Κυρίου καὶ ἰσχῦσαι καὶ τροπώσασθαι.

25:9 Dixitque Amasias ad hominem Dei : Quid ergo fiet de centum talentis, quae dedi militibus Israel ? Et respondit ei homo Dei : Habet Dominus unde tibi dare possit multo his plura.
*H And Amasias said to the man of God: What will then become of the hundred talents which I have given to the soldiers of Israel? and the man of God answered him: The Lord is rich enough to be able to give thee much more than this.
Ver. 9. What will. Syr. &c. "What then is my crime in having given the," &c. — To the. Heb. or, "for the army." H.
Καὶ εἶπεν Ἀμασίας τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ τί ποιήσω τὰ ἑκατὸν τάλαντα ἃ ἔδωκα τῇ δυνάμει Ἰσραήλ; καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἔστι τῷ Κυρίῳ δοῦναί σοι πλεῖστα τούτων.

25:10 Separavit itaque Amasias exercitum qui venerat ad eum ex Ephraim, ut reverteretur in locum suum : at illi contra Judam vehementer irati, reversi sunt in regionem suam.
Then Amasias separated the army, that came to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: but they being much enraged against Juda, returned to their own country.
Καὶ διεχώρισεν Ἀμασίας τῇ δυνάμει τῇ ἐλθούσῃ πρὸς αὐτὸν ἀπὸ Ἐφραὶμ, ἀπέλθεῖν εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐθυμώθησαν σφόδρα ἐπὶ Ἰούδαν, καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῶν ἐν ὀργῇ θυμοῦ.

25:11 Porro Amasias confidenter eduxit populum suum, et abiit in vallem Salinarum, percussitque filios Seir decem millia :
And Amasias taking courage led forth his people, and went to the vale of saltpits, and slew of the children of Seir ten thousand.
Καὶ Ἀμασίας κατίσχυσε καὶ παρέλαβε τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὴν κοιλάδα τῶν ἁλῶν, καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐκεῖ τοὺς υἱοὺς Σηεὶρ, δέκα χιλιάδας.

*H And other ten thousand men the sons of Juda took, and brought to the steep of a certain rock, and cast them down headlong from the top, and they all were broken to pieces.
Ver. 12. Rock, afterwards called Jecteel. Some take it to be Petra. 4 K. xiv. 7.
Καὶ δέκα χιλιάδας ἐζώγρησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰούδα, καὶ ἔφερον αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον τοῦ κρημνοῦ, καὶ κατεκρήμνιζον αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ ἄκρου τοῦ κρημνοῦ, καὶ πάντες διεῤῥήγνυντο.

25:13 At ille exercitus quem remiserat Amasias ne secum iret ad praelium, diffusus est in civitatibus Juda, a Samaria usque ad Bethoron, et interfectis tribus millibus, diripuit praedam magnam.
*H But that army which Amasias had sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, spread themselves among the cities of Juda, from Samaria to Beth-horon, and having killed three thousand took away much spoil.
Ver. 13. Samaria, the capital, where they had made their complaints to king Joas; and receiving no redress, began to plunder, as far as Bethhoron the lower, which Solomon had repaired, and his successors had retained, though it belonged to the territory of Ephraim. C. xiii. 5. Jos. xviii. 13. C.
Καὶ υἱοὶ τῆς δυνάμεως οὓς ἀπέστρεψεν Ἀμασίας τοῦ μὴ πορευθῆναι μετʼ αὐτοῦ εἰς πόλεμον, καὶ ἐπέθεντο ἐπὶ τὰς πόλεις Ἰούδα ἀπὸ Σαμαρείας ἕως Βαιθωρών· καὶ ἐπάταξαν ἐν αὐτοῖς τρεῖς χιλιάδας, καὶ ἐσκύλευσαν σκῦλα πολλά.

25:14 Amasias vero post caedem Idumaeorum, et allatos deos filiorum Seir, statuit illos in deos sibi, et adorabat eos, et illis adolebat incensum.
But Amasias after he had slain the Edomites, set up the gods of the children of Seir, which he had brought thence, to be his gods, and adored them, and burnt incense to them.
Καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὸ ἐλθεῖν Ἀμασίαν πατάξαντος τὴν Ἰδουμαίαν, καὶ ἤνεγκε πρὸς αὐτὸν τοὺς θεοὺς υἱῶν Σηεὶρ, καὶ ἔστησεν αὐτοὺς αὐτῷ εἰς θεοὺς, καὶ ἐναντίον αὐτῶν προσεκύνει, καὶ αὐτὸς αὐτοῖς ἔθυε.

25:15 Quam ob rem iratus Dominus contra Amasiam misit ad illum prophetam, qui diceret ei : Cur adorasti deos qui non liberaverunt populum suum de manu tua ?
Wherefore the Lord being angry against Amasias, sent a prophet to him, to say to him: Why hast thou adored gods that have not delivered their own people out of thy hand?
Καὶ ἐγένετο ὀργὴ Κυρίου ἐπὶ Ἀμασίαν, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτῷ προφήτην, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, τί ἐζήτησας τοὺς θεοὺς τοῦ λαοῦ, οἳ οὐκ ἐξείλοντο τὸν λαὸν ἑαυτῶν ἐκ χειρός σου;

25:16 Cumque haec ille loqueretur, respondit ei : Num consiliarius regis es ? quiesce, ne interficiam te. Discedensque propheta : Scio, inquit, quod cogitaverit Deus occidere te quia fecisti hoc malum, et insuper non acquievisti consilio meo.
*H And when he spoke these things, he answered him: Art thou the king's counsellor? be quiet, lest I kill thee. And the prophet departing, said: I know that God is minded to kill thee, because thou hast done this evil, and moreover hast not hearkened to my counsel.
Ver. 16. Art thou. Heb. adds, "appointed." H. — The very character of prophet, authorized him to give counsel even to kings. Amasias had perhaps obeyed this prophet, (v. 7) but now his heart was puffed up with victory. — Kill thee, sixteen years hence.
Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ λαλῆσαι αὐτῷ πρὸς αὐτὸν, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, μὴ σύμβουλον τοῦ βασιλέως δέδωκά σε; πρόσεχε ἵνα μὴ μαστιγωθῇς· καὶ ἐσιώπησεν ὁ προφήτης, καὶ εἶπεν, ὅτι γινώσκω, ὅτι ἐβούλετο ἐπὶ σοὶ τοῦ καταφθεῖραί σε, ὅτι ἐποίησας τοῦτο, καὶ οὐκ ἐπήκουσας τῆς συμβουλίας μου.

25:17 Igitur Amasias rex Juda inito pessimo consilio, misit ad Joas filium Joachaz filii Jehu regem Israel, dicens : Veni, videamus nos mutuo.
*H Then Amasias king of Juda taking very bad counsel, sent to Joas the son of Joachaz the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying: Come, let us see one another.
Ver. 17. Another, and fight. He supposed Joas had connived at his subjects' invasion, (v. 13. H. See 4 K. xiv. 8. C.) and he now required all Israel to submit to him. Josephus. T.
Καὶ ἐβουλεύσατο Ἀμασίας ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα, καὶ ἀπέστειλε πρὸς Ἰωὰς υἱὸν Ἰωάχαζ υἱοῦ Ἰηοὺ βασιλέα Ἰσραὴλ, λέγων, δεῦρο, καὶ ὀφθῶμεν προσώποις.

25:18 At ille remisit nuntios, dicens : Carduus qui est in Libano misit ad cedrum Libani, dicens : Da filiam tuam filio meo uxorem : et ecce bestiae quae erant in silva Libani, transierunt, et conculcaverunt carduum.
*H But he sent back the messengers, saying: The thistle that is in Libanus, sent to the cedar in Libanus, saying: Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and behold the beasts that were in the wood of Libanus passed by and trod down the thistle.
Ver. 18. Thistle. This fable insinuated how much Joas despised the insolence of his antagonist, (H.) and Amasias had soon reason to repent. T.
Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἰωὰς βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Ἀμασίαν βασιλέα Ἰούδα, λέγων, ὁ ἀκχοὺχ ὁ ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ ἀπέστειλε πρὸς τὴν κέδρον τὴν ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ, λέγων, δὸς τὴν θυγατέρα σου τῷ υἱῷ μου εἰς γυναῖκα, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐλεύσεται τὰ θηρία τοῦ ἀγροῦ τὰ ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ· καὶ ἦλθον τὰ θηρία, καὶ κατεπάτησαν τὸν ἀκχούχ.

Thou hast said: I have overthrown Edom, and therefore thy heart is lifted up with pride: stay at home, why dost thou provoke evil against thee, that both thou shouldst fall and Juda with thee.
Εἶπας, ἰδοὺ ἐπάταξα τὴν Ἰδουμαίαν, καὶ ἐπαίρει σε ἡ καρδία σου ἡ βαρεῖα· νῦν κάθισον ἐν οἴκῳ σου, καὶ ἱνατί συμβάλλεις ἐν κακίᾳ, καὶ πεσῇ σὺ καὶ Ἰούδας μετὰ σοῦ;

25:20 Noluit audire Amasias, eo quod Domini esset voluntas ut traderetur in manus hostium propter deos Edom.
*H Amasias would not hearken to him, because it was the Lord's will that he should be delivered into the hands of enemies, because of the gods of Edom.
Ver. 20. It. Prot. "it came of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they sought after the gods of Edom." H. — The king was permitted to give ear to evil counsellors. C. — "Jupiter deprives those of understanding, whom he means to destroy." Homer — The heart is hardened on account of former sins. W.
Καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσεν Ἀμασίας, ὅτι παρὰ Κυρίου ἐγένετο τοῦ παραδοῦναι αὐτὸν εἰς χεῖρας, ὅτι ἐξεζήτησε τοὺς θεοὺς τῶν Ἰδουμαίων.

25:21 Ascendit igitur Joas rex Israel, et mutuos sibi praebuere conspectus : Amasias autem rex Juda erat in Bethsames Juda :
So Joas king of Israel went up, and they presented themselves to be seen by one another: and Amasias king of Juda was in Bethsames of Juda:
Καὶ ἀνέβη Ἰωὰς βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ὤφθησαν ἀλλήλοις αὐτὸς καὶ Ἀμασίας βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα ἐν Βαιθσαμὺς, ἥ ἐστι τοῦ Ἰούδα.

25:22 corruitque Juda coram Israel, et fugit in tabernacula sua.
And Juda fell before Israel, and they fled to their dwellings.

25:23 Porro Amasiam regem Juda, filium Joas filii Joachaz, cepit Joas rex Israel in Bethsames, et adduxit in Jerusalem : destruxitque murum ejus a porta Ephraim usque ad portam anguli quadringentis cubitis.
And Joas king of Israel took Amasias king of Juda, the son of Joas, the son of Joachaz, in Bethsames, and brought him to Jerusalem: and broke down the walls thereof from the gate of Ephraim, to the gate of the corner, four hundred cubits.
Καὶ τὸν Ἀμασίαν βασιλέα Ἰούδα τὸν τοῦ Ἰωὰς υἱοῦ Ἰωάχαζ κατέλαβεν Ἰωὰς βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἐν Βαιθσαμὺς, καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ· καὶ κατέσπασεν ἀπὸ τοῦ τείχους Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἀπὸ πύλης Ἐφραὶμ ἕως πύλης γωνίας τετρακοσίους πήχεις.

25:24 Omne quoque aurum et argentum, et universa vasa quae repererat in domo Dei, et apud Obededom in thesauris etiam domus regiae, necnon et filios obsidum, reduxit in Samariam.
*H And he took all the gold, and silver, and all the vessels, that he found in the house of God, and with Obededom, and in the treasures of the king's house, moreover also the sons of the hostages, he brought back to Samaria.
Ver. 24. Obededom, whose descendants guarded these treasures. 1 Par. xxvi. 15. C. — Hostages. Prot. "the hostages also, and returned to Samaria." H. — Some think that the kings of Juda had before detained these men. E. — Others suppose that Joas had taken many nobles, whom he exchanged for their sons. But this is all conjecture. C.
Καὶ πᾶν τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον, καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τὰ εὑρεθέντα ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου καὶ παρὰ τῷ Ἀβδεδὸμ, καὶ τοὺς θησαυροὺς οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν συμμίξεων, καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν εἰς Σαμάρειαν.

And Amasias the son of Joas king of Juda lived, after the death of Joas the son of Joachaz king of Israel, fifteen years.
Καὶ ἔζησεν Ἀμασίας ὁ τοῦ Ἰωὰς βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα μετὰ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν Ἰωὰς τὸν τοῦ Ἰωάχαζ βασιλέα Ἰσραὴλ ἔτη δεκαπέντε.

Now the rest of the acts of Amasias, the first and last, are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
Καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ λόγοι Ἀμασίου οἱ πρῶτοι καὶ οἱ ἔσχατοι οὐκ ἰδοὺ γεγραμμένοι ἐπὶ βιβλίου βασιλέων Ἰούδα καὶ Ἰσραήλ;

And after he revolted from the Lord, they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. And he fled into Lachis, and they sent, and killed him there.
Καὶ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ᾧ ἀπέστη Ἀμασίας ἀπὸ Κυρίου, καὶ ἐπέθεντο αὐτῷ ἐπίθεσιν, καὶ ἔφυγεν ἀπὸ Ἱερουσαλὴμ εἰς Λαχίς· καὶ ἀπέστειλαν κατόπισθεν αὐτοῦ εἰς Λαχίς, καὶ ἐθανάτωσαν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ.
