2 Crônicas 25 - Bíblia Online

Tinha Amazias vinte e cinco anos quando começou a reinar, e reinou vinte e nove anos em Jerusalém. Sua mãe chamava-se Joadã de Jerusalém. 
Ele fez o que era reto aos olhos de Jeová, porém não com um coração perfeito. 
Tendo sido o reino confirmado, matou os seus servos que tinham assassinado o rei seu pai. 
Porém não matou os filhos deles, mas fez segundo está escrito na lei do livro de Moisés, como Jeová ordenou, dizendo: Não morrerão os pais pelos filhos, nem morrerão os filhos pelos pais; mas cada um morrerá pelo seu pecado. 
Também Amazias congregou a Judá, e pô-lo segundo as suas famílias sob tribunos e sob centuriões, todo o Judá e Benjamim. Fez uma resenha deles desde vinte anos e daí para cima e achou que eram trezentos mil homens escolhidos que podiam ir à guerra e sabiam manejar lança e escudo. 
Também de Israel tomou a soldo cem mil homens ilustres em valor, por cem talentos de prata. 
Mas veio ter com ele um homem de Deus, dizendo: Ó rei, não deixes ir contigo o exército de Israel, porque Jeová não é com Israel, com todos os filhos de Efraim. 
Mas vai, há-te com valor, sê forte para a peleja. Deus, porém, te fará cair diante do inimigo, pois Deus tem poder para ajudar e para fazer cair. 
Perguntou Amazias ao homem de Deus: Mas que será feito dos cem talentos que dei aos filhos de Israel? Respondeu o homem de Deus: Jeová te pode dar muito mais do que isso. 
Então Amazias separou as tropas que lhe tinham vindo de Efraim, para que voltassem para sua terra; pelo que muito se acendeu a sua ira contra Judá, e voltaram ardendo de ira, para a sua terra. 
Amazias cobrou ânimo e conduziu o seu povo, e foi ao Vale do Sal, e feriu dos filhos de Seir dez mil. 
Os filhos de Judá levaram vivos outros dez mil, que trouxeram ao cume dum penhasco, donde os precipitaram, de modo que foram esmigalhados. 
Porém os homens do exército que Amazias havia recambiado, para que não fossem com ele à guerra, caíram sobre as cidades de Judá, desde Samaria até Bete-Horom, feriram dos seus habitantes a uns três mil, e tomaram muitos despojos. 
Depois que Amazias tinha vindo da matança dos edomitas, trouxe os deuses dos filhos de Seir, e fez deles os seus deuses, e prostrava-se diante deles, e queimava-lhes incenso. 
Pelo que se acendeu a ira de Jeová contra Amazias, e enviou-lhe um profeta, que lhe disse: Por que buscaste os deuses do povo, que por eles não se livrou das tuas mãos? 
Enquanto falava com ele o profeta, disse-lhe o rei: Fizemos-te conselheiro do rei? cala-te; se não, serás ferido. Então parou o profeta, e disse: Sei que Deus resolveu destruir-te, porque fizeste isso, e não deste ouvidos ao meu conselho. 
Tendo Amazias, rei de Judá, tomado conselho, mandou dizer a Joás, filho de Joacaz, filho de Jeú, rei de Israel: Vem, vejamo-nos cara a cara. 
Joás, rei de Israel, mandou responder a Amazias, rei de Judá; o cardo que estava no Líbano mandou dizer ao cedro que estava no Líbano: Dá a tua filha por mulher ao meu filho. Uma fera que estava no Líbano passou e pisou o cardo. 
Tu dizes: Eis que feri a Edom; e o teu coração te leva a te gloriares. Deixa-te estar agora em casa; por que provocarias a calamidade, para caíres tu e Judá contigo? 
Amazias, porém, não quis ouvir; pois era da vontade de Deus entregá-los nas mãos dos seus inimigos, porque tinham buscado os deuses de Edom. 
Subiu Joás, rei de Israel; e ele e Amazias, rei de Judá, se viram cara a cara em Bete-Semes, que pertence a Judá. 
Judá foi desbaratado diante de Israel, e fugiu cada um para a sua tenda. 
Joás, rei de Israel, tomou a Amazias, rei de Judá, filho de Joás, filho de Joacaz, em Bete-Semes, e o levou a Jerusalém, e derribou o muro de Jerusalém desde a porta de Efraim até a porta do ângulo, quatrocentos cúbitos. 
Tomou todo o ouro e prata, e todos os vasos que se acharam na casa de Deus em poder de Obede-Edom, e os tesouros da casa do rei, e os reféns, e voltou para Samaria. 
Amazias, filho de Joás, rei de Judá, viveu quinze anos depois da morte de Joás, filho de Joacaz, rei de Israel. 
Ora o resto dos atos de Amazias, tanto os primeiros como os últimos, não estão escritos no livro dos reis de Judá e de Israel? 
Depois que Amazias deixou de seguir a Jeová, fizeram uma conspiração contra ele em Jerusalém. Ele fugiu para Laquis, mas perseguiram-no até Laquis, onde o mataram. 
Trouxeram-no sobre cavalos e sepultaram-no com seus pais na cidade de Judá. 

Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years; his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem. 
He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, but his heart was not completely true to the Lord. 
Now when he became strong in the kingdom, he put to death those men who had taken the life of the king his father. 
But he did not put their children to death, for he kept the orders of the Lord recorded in the book of the law of Moses, saying, The fathers are not to be put to death for their children or the children for their fathers, but a man is to be put to death for the sin which he himself has done. 
Then Amaziah got all Judah together and put them in order by their families, even all Judah and Benjamin, under captains of thousands and captains of hundreds: and he had those of twenty years old and over numbered, and they came to three hundred thousand of the best fighting-men, trained for war and in the use of the spear and the body-cover. 
And for a hundred talents of silver, he got a hundred thousand fighting-men from Israel. 
But a man of God came to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with you; for the Lord is not with Israel, that is, the children of Ephraim. 
But go yourself, and be strong in war; God will not let you go down before those who are fighting against you; for God has power to give help or to send you down before your attackers. 
Then Amaziah said to the man of God, But what is to be done about the hundred talents which I have given for the armed band of Israel? And the man of God in answer said, God is able to give you much more than this. 
So Amaziah, separating the armed band which had come to him from Ephraim, sent them back again; which made them very angry with Judah, and they went back burning with wrath. 
Then Amaziah took heart, and went out at the head of his people and came to the Valley of Salt, where he put to death ten thousand of the children of Seir; 
And ten thousand more the children of Israel took living, and made them go up to the top of the rock, pushing them down from the top of the rock so that their bodies were broken by the fall. 
But the men of the band which Amaziah sent back and did not take with him to the fight, made attacks on the towns of Judah from Samaria to Beth-horon, putting to death three thousand of their people and taking away a great store of their goods. 
Now when Amaziah came back from the destruction of the Edomites, he took the gods of the children of Seir and made them his gods, worshipping them and burning offerings before them. 
And so the wrath of the Lord was moved against Amaziah, and he sent a prophet to him, who said, Why have you gone after the gods of the people who have not given their people salvation from your hands? 
But while he was talking to him the king said to him, Have we made you one of the king's government? say no more, or it will be the cause of your death. Then the prophet gave up protesting, and said, It is clear to me that God's purpose is your destruction, because you have done this and have not given ear to my words. 
Then Amaziah, king of Judah, acting on the suggestion of his servants, sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us have a meeting face to face. 
And Joash, king of Israel, sent to Amaziah, king of Judah, saying, The thorn-tree in Lebanon sent to the cedar in Lebanon, saying, Give your daughter to my son for a wife: and a beast from the woodland in Lebanon went by, crushing the thorn under his feet. 
You say, See, I have overcome Edom; and your heart is lifted up with pride: now keep in your country; why do you make causes of trouble, putting yourself, and Judah with you, in danger of downfall? 
But Amaziah gave no attention; and this was the purpose of God, so that he might give them up into the hands of Joash, because they had gone after the gods of Edom. 
And so Joash, king of Israel, went up; and he and Amaziah, king of Judah, came face to face at Beth-shemesh in Judah. 
And Judah was overcome before Israel, and they went in flight, every man to his tent. 
And Joash, king of Israel, made Amaziah, king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, prisoner at Beth-shemesh, and took him to Jerusalem; and he had the wall of Jerusalem pulled down from the doorway of Ephraim to the doorway in the angle, four hundred cubits. 
And he took all the gold and silver and all the vessels which were in the house of the Lord, under the care of Obed-edom, and all the wealth from the king's house, as well as those whose lives would be the price of broken faith, and went back to Samaria. 
Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Judah, went on living for fifteen years after the death of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel. 
Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, are they not recorded in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel? 
Now from the time when Amaziah gave up worshipping the Lord, they made secret designs against him in Jerusalem; and he went in flight to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him and put him to death there. 
And they took his body on horseback and put it into the earth with his fathers in the town of David.
