CHAPTER 11
2 Kings 11:1
1 And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose
and destroyed all the seed royal. 2 Kings 11:2
2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the
son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons which were slain;
and they hid him, even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah,
so that he was not slain. 2 Kings 11:3
3 And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years. And Athaliah did
reign over the land.
2 Kings 11:4
4 And the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the rulers over hundreds,
with the captains and the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the
LORD, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house
of the LORD, and shewed them the king's son. 2 Kings 11:5
5 And he commanded them, saying, This is the thing that ye shall do; A third
part of you that enter in on the sabbath shall even be keepers of the watch of
the king's house;
2 Kings 11:6
6 And a third part shall be at the gate of Sur; and a third part at the gate
behind the guard: so shall ye keep the watch of the house, that it be not
broken down.
2 Kings 11:7
7 And two parts of all you that go forth on the sabbath, even they shall keep
the watch of the house of the LORD about the king. 2 Kings 11:8
8 And ye shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his
hand: and he that cometh within the ranges, let him be slain: and be ye with
the king as he goeth out and as he cometh in. 2 Kings 11:9
9 And the captains over the hundreds did according to all things that Jehoiada
the priest commanded: and they took every man his men that were to come in on
the sabbath, with them that should go out on the sabbath, and came to
Jehoiada the priest.
2 Kings 11:10
10 And to the captains over hundreds did the priest give king David's spears
and shields, that were in the temple of the LORD. 2 Kings 11:11
11 And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, round about
the king, from the right corner of the temple to the left corner of the
temple, along by the altar and the temple. 2 Kings 11:12
12 And he brought forth the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and gave
him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped
their hands, and said, God save the king. 2 Kings 11:13
13 And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came
to the people into the temple of the LORD. 2 Kings 11:14
14 And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the manner was,
and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land
rejoiced, and blew with trumpets: and Athaliah rent her clothes, and
cried, Treason, Treason.
2 Kings 11:15
15 But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the
officers of the host, and said unto them, Have her forth without the ranges:
and him that followeth her kill with the sword. For the priest had said,
Let her not be slain in the house of the LORD. 2 Kings 11:16
16 And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by the which the horses
came into the king's house: and there was she slain. 2 Kings 11:17
17 And Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people,
that they should be the LORD'S people; between the king also and the people.
2 Kings 11:18
18 And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and brake it
down; his altars and his images brake they in pieces thoroughly, and slew
Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed
officers over the house of the LORD. 2 Kings 11:19
19 And he took the rulers over hundreds, and the captains, and the guard, and
all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of
the LORD, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king's
house. And he sat on the throne of the kings. 2 Kings 11:20
20 And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was in quiet: and
they slew Athaliah with the sword beside the king's house. 2 Kings 11:21
21 Seven years old was Jehoash when he began to reign. CHAPTER 12
2 Kings 12:1
1 In the seventh year of Jehu Jehoash began to reign; and forty years reigned
he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba. 2 Kings 12:2
2 And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all his days
wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him. 2 Kings 12:3
3 But the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and
burnt incense in the high places.
2 Kings 12:4
4 And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the dedicated things that
is brought into the house of the LORD, even the money of every one that
passeth the account, the money that every man is set at, and all the money
that cometh into any man's heart to bring into the house of the LORD, 2
Kings 12:5
5 Let the priests take it to them, every man of his acquaintance: and let them
repair the breaches of the house, wheresoever any breach shall be found.
2 Kings 12:6
6 But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the
priests had not repaired the breaches of the house. 2 Kings 12:7
7 Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and the other priests, and
said unto them, Why repair ye not the breaches of the house? now therefore
receive no more money of your acquaintance, but deliver it for the breaches
of the house.
2 Kings 12:8
8 And the priests consented to receive no more money of the people, neither to
repair the breaches of the house. 2 Kings 12:9
9 But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and
set it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh into the house of
the LORD: and the priests that kept the door put therein all the money
that was brought into the house of the LORD. 2 Kings 12:10
10 And it was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that
the king's scribe and the high priest came up, and they put up in bags, and
told the money that was found in the house of the LORD. 2 Kings 12:11
11 And they gave the money, being told, into the hands of them that did the
work, that had the oversight of the house of the LORD: and they laid it out to
the carpenters and builders, that wrought upon the house of the LORD, 2
Kings 12:12
12 And to masons, and hewers of stone, and to buy timber and hewed stone to
repair the breaches of the house of the LORD, and for all that was laid out
for the house to repair it.
2 Kings 12:13
13 Howbeit there were not made for the house of the LORD bowls of silver,
snuffers, basons, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the
money that was brought into the house of the LORD: 2 Kings 12:14
14 But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired therewith the house of the
LORD.
2 Kings 12:15
15 Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the
money to be bestowed on workmen: for they dealt faithfully. 2 Kings 12:16
16 The trespass money and sin money was not brought into the house of the
LORD: it was the priests'.
2 Kings 12:17
17 Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took it:
and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem. 2 Kings 12:18
18 And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat,
and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his
own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of
the house of the LORD, and in the king's house, and sent it to Hazael
king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem. 2 Kings 12:19
19 And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, are they not
written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 2 Kings 12:20
20 And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and slew Joash in the house
of Millo, which goeth down to Silla. 2 Kings 12:21
21 For Jozachar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his
servants, smote him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the
city of David: and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead. CHAPTER 13
2 Kings 13:1
1 In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah king of Judah
Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned
seventeen years.
2 Kings 13:2
2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and followed the
sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not
therefrom.
2 Kings 13:3
3 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them
into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the son
of Hazael, all their days. 2 Kings 13:4
4 And Jehoahaz besought the LORD, and the LORD hearkened unto him: for he saw
the oppression of Israel, because the king of Syria oppressed them. 2 Kings
13:5
5 (And the LORD gave Israel a saviour, so that they went out from under the
hand of the Syrians: and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents, as
beforetime.
2 Kings 13:6
6 Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who
made Israel sin, but walked therein: and there remained the grove also in
Samaria.)
2 Kings 13:7
7 Neither did he leave of the people to Jehoahaz but fifty horsemen, and ten
chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria had destroyed them,
and had made them like the dust by threshing. 2 Kings 13:8
8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might,
are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 2
Kings 13:9
9 And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and
Joash his son reigned in his stead. 2 Kings 13:10
10 In the thirty and seventh year of Joash king of Judah began Jehoash the son
of Jehoahaz to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned sixteen years. 2
Kings 13:11
11 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; he departed not
from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin: but he
walked therein.
2 Kings 13:12
12 And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might
wherewith he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the
book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 2 Kings 13:13
13 And Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat upon his throne: and
Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. 2 Kings 13:14
14 Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died. And Joash the
king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my
father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. 2
Kings 13:15
15 And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows. And he took unto him bow and
arrows.
2 Kings 13:16
16 And he said to the king of Israel, Put thine hand upon the bow. And he put
his hand upon it: and Elisha put his hands upon the king's hands. 2 Kings 13:17
17 And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then Elisha said,
Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the LORD'S deliverance, and the
arrow of deliverance from Syria: for thou shalt smite the Syrians in
Aphek, till thou have consumed them. 2 Kings 13:18
18 And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king
of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed. 2 Kings
13:19
19 And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have
smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst
consumed it: whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice. 2 Kings 13:20
20 And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded
the land at the coming in of the year. 2 Kings 13:21
21 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.
2 Kings 13:22
22 But Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz. 2 Kings
13:23
23 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. 2
Kings 13:24
24 So Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his stead. 2
Kings 13:25
25 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.
CHAPTER 14
2 Kings 14:1
1 In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned Amaziah
the son of Joash king of Judah.
2 Kings 14:2
2 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.
2 Kings 14:3
3 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. 2 Kings
14:4
4 Howbeit the high places were not taken away: as yet the people did sacrifice
and burnt incense on the high places. 2 Kings 14:5
5 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. 2 Kings 14:6
6 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.
2 Kings 14:7
7 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. 2 Kings 14:8
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. 2 Kings
14:9
9 And Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The
thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying,
Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast
that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle. 2 Kings 14:10
10 Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thine heart hath lifted thee up: glory
of this, and tarry at home: for why shouldest thou meddle to thy hurt, that
thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee? 2 Kings 14:11
11 But Amaziah would not hear. Therefore Jehoash king of Israel went up; and
he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Bethshemesh,
which belongeth to Judah.
2 Kings 14:12
12 And Judah was put to the worse before Israel; and they fled every man to
their tents.
2 Kings 14:13
13 And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash
the son of Ahaziah, at Bethshemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and brake down
the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate,
four hundred cubits.
2 Kings 14:14
14 And he took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in
the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house, and hostages,
and returned to Samaria.
2 Kings 14:15
15 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which 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? 2 Kings 14:16
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. 2 Kings 14:17
17 And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash
son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years. 2 Kings 14:18
18 And the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the book of
the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 2 Kings 14:19
19 Now they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem: and he fled to
Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him there. 2 Kings 14:20
20 And they brought him on horses: and he was buried at Jerusalem with his
fathers in the city of David.
