2 Raja-raja 14

2 Kings 14

Amazia, raja Yehuda 14:1 Dalam tahun kedua zaman Yoas bin Yoahas, raja Israel, Amazia, anak Yoas raja Yehuda menjadi raja. 14:2 Ia berumur dua puluh lima tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan dua puluh sembilan tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Nama ibunya ialah Yoadan, dari Yerusalem. 14:3 Ia melakukan apa yang benar di mata TUHAN, hanya bukan seperti Daud, bapa leluhurnya. Ia berbuat tepat seperti yang diperbuat Yoas, ayahnya. 14:4 Namun demikian, bukit-bukit pengorbanan tidaklah dijauhkan. Bangsa itu masih mempersembahkan dan membakar korban di bukit-bukit itu. 14:5 Segera sesudah kuasa kerajaan itu kokoh di tangannya, dibunuhnyalah pegawai-pegawainya yang telah membunuh raja, yaitu ayahnya. 14:6 Tetapi anak-anak para pembunuh itu tidak dihukum mati olehnya, seperti yang tertulis dalam kitab Taurat Musa, di mana TUHAN telah memberi perintah: "Janganlah ayah dihukum mati karena anaknya, janganlah juga anak dihukum mati karena ayahnya, melainkan setiap orang harus dihukum mati karena dosanya sendiri." 14:7 Ia mengalahkan Edom di Lembah Asin, sepuluh ribu orang banyaknya, dan merebut Sela dalam peperangan itu, lalu dinamainyalah kota itu Yokteel; begitulah sampai hari ini. 14:8 Pada waktu itu Amazia menyuruh utusan kepada Yoas bin Yoahas bin Yehu, raja Israel, mengatakan: "Mari kita mengadu tenaga!" 14:9 Tetapi Yoas, raja Israel, menyuruh orang kepada Amazia, raja Yehuda, mengatakan: "Rumput duri yang di gunung Libanon mengirim pesan kepada pohon aras yang di gunung Libanon, bunyinya: Berikanlah anakmu perempuan kepada anakku laki-laki menjadi isterinya. Tetapi binatang-binatang hutan yang ada di gunung Libanon itu berjalan lewat dari sana, lalu menginjak rumput duri itu. 14:10 Memang engkau telah mengalahkan Edom, sebab itu engkau menjadi tinggi hati. Cukuplah bagimu mendapat kehormatan itu dan tinggallah di rumahmu. Untuk apa engkau menantang malapetaka, sehingga engkau jatuh dan Yehuda bersama-sama engkau?" 14:11 Tetapi Amazia tidak mau mendengarkan, sebab itu majulah Yoas, raja Israel, lalu mengadu tenagalah mereka, ia dan Amazia, raja Yehuda, di Bet-Semes yang termasuk wilayah Yehuda. 14:12 Yehuda terpukul kalah oleh Israel, sehingga masing-masing lari ke kemahnya. 14:13 Yoas, raja Israel menangkap Amazia, raja Yehuda, anak Yoas bin Ahazia, di Bet-Semes. Lalu Yoas masuk ke Yerusalem, dan membongkar tembok Yerusalem dari Pintu Gerbang Efraim sampai ke Pintu Gerbang Sudut, empat ratus hasta panjangnya. 14:14 Sesudah itu ia mengambil segala emas dan perak dan segala perkakas yang terdapat dalam rumah TUHAN dan dalam perbendaharaan istana raja, juga orang-orang sandera, kemudian pulanglah ia ke Samaria. 14:15 Selebihnya dari riwayat Yoas, apa yang dilakukannya dan kepahlawanannya dan bagaimana ia berperang melawan Amazia, raja Yehuda, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Israel? 14:16 Kemudian Yoas mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, dan ia dikuburkan di Samaria di samping raja-raja Israel. Maka Yerobeam, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia. 14:17 Amazia bin Yoas, raja Yehuda, masih hidup lima belas tahun lamanya sesudah matinya Yoas bin Yoahas, raja Israel. 14:18 Selebihnya dari riwayat Amazia, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Yehuda? 14:19 Di Yerusalem orang mengadakan persepakatan melawan dia, sebab itu larilah ia ke Lakhis. Tetapi mereka menyuruh mengejar dia ke Lakhis, lalu dibunuhlah dia di sana. 14:20 Diangkutlah dia dengan kuda, lalu dikuburkan di Yerusalem di samping nenek moyangnya di kota Daud. 14:21 Segenap bangsa Yehuda mengambil Azarya, yang masih berumur enam belas tahun dan mengangkat dia menjadi raja menggantikan ayahnya, Amazia. 14:22 Ia memperkuat Elat dan mengembalikannya kepada Yehuda, sesudah raja mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya. Yerobeam bin Yoas, raja Israel 14:23 Dalam tahun kelima belas zaman Amazia bin Yoas, raja Yehuda, Yerobeam, anak Yoas, raja Israel, menjadi raja di Samaria. Ia memerintah empat puluh satu tahun lamanya. 14:24 Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN. Ia tidak menjauh dari segala dosa Yerobeam bin Nebat, yang mengakibatkan orang Israel berdosa pula. 14:25 Ia mengembalikan daerah Israel, dari jalan masuk ke Hamat sampai ke Laut Araba sesuai dengan firman TUHAN, Allah Israel, yang telah diucapkan-Nya dengan perantaraan hamba-Nya, nabi Yunus bin Amitai dari Gat-Hefer. 14:26 Sebab TUHAN telah melihat betapa pahitnya kesengsaraan orang Israel itu: sudah habis lenyap baik yang tinggi maupun yang rendah kedudukannya, dan tidak ada penolong bagi orang Israel. 14:27 Tetapi TUHAN tidak mengatakan bahwa Ia akan menghapuskan nama Israel dari kolong langit; jadi Ia menolong mereka dengan perantaraan Yerobeam bin Yoas. 14:28 Selebihnya dari riwayat Yerobeam dan segala yang dilakukannya dan kepahlawanannya, bagaimana ia berperang, dan bagaimana ia mengembalikan Damsyik dan Hamat-Yehuda ke dalam Israel, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Israel? 14:29 Kemudian Yerobeam mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, raja-raja Israel. Maka Zakharia, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

14:1 In the second year of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, became king.
14:2 He was twentyfive years old when he became king, and he reigned twentynine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
14:3 And he did [what was] right in the sight of the LORD, yet not like his father David; he did everything as his father Joash had done.
14:4 However the high places were not taken away, and the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
14:5 Now it happened, as soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, that he executed his servants who had murdered his father the king.
14:6 But the children of the murderers he did not execute, according to what is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, in which the LORD commanded, saying, "Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall children be put to death for their fathers; but a person shall be put to death for his own sin."
14:7 He killed ten thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt, and took Sela by war, and called its name Joktheel to this day.
14:8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, "Come, let us face one another [in battle]."
14:9 And Jehoash 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 your daughter to my son as wife';and a wild beast that [was] in Lebanon passed by and trampled the thistle.
14:10 "You have indeed defeated Edom, and your heart has lifted you up. Glory [in that], and stay at home; for why should you meddle with trouble so that you fallyou and Judah with you?"
14:11 But Amaziah would not heed. Therefore Jehoash king of Israel went out; so he and Amaziah king of Judah faced one another at Beth Shemesh, which [belongs] to Judah.
14:12 And Judah was defeated by Israel, and every man fled to his tent.
14:13 Then Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash, the son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh; and he went to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Gate of Ephraim to the Corner Gatefour hundred cubits.
14:14 And he took all the gold and silver, all the articles that were found in the house of the LORD and in the treasuries of the king's house, and hostages, and returned to Samaria.
14:15 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he didhis 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?
14:16 So Jehoash rested with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. Then Jeroboam his son reigned in his place.
14:17 Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, lived fifteen years after the death of Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.
14:18 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
14:19 And they formed a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there.
14:20 Then they brought him on horses, and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the City of David.
14:21 And all the people of Judah took Azariah, who [was] sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah.
14:22 He built Elath and restored it to Judah, after the king rested with his fathers.
14:23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel, became king in Samaria, [and reigned] fortyone years.
14:24 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD; he did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin.
14:25 He restored the territory of Israel from the entrance of Hamath to the Sea of the Arabah, according to the word of the LORD God of Israel, which He had spoken through His servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet who [was] from Gath Hepher.
14:26 For the LORD saw [that] the affliction of Israel [was] very bitter; and whether bond or free, there was no helper for Israel.
14:27 And the LORD did not say that He would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven; but He saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.
14:28 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he didhis might, how he made war, and how he recaptured for Israel, from Damascus and Hamath, [what had belonged] to Judah[are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
14:29 So Jeroboam rested with his fathers, the kings of Israel. Then Zechariah his son reigned in his place.
