1 The son of twenty and five years reigned Amaziah, and twenty and nine years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name Jehoaddan from Jerusalem. 2 And he will do the straight in the eyes of Jehovah, only not with a whole heart. 3 And it will be when the kingdom was strengthened over him, and he will slay his servants striking the king his father. 4 And their sons he slew not, for as written in the law in the book of Moses where Jehovah commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the sons, and the sons shall not die for the fathers, for each shall die in his sin. 5 And Amaziah will gather Judah together, and set them up for the house of the fathers for chiefs of thousands, and for chiefs of hundreds, to all Judah and Benjamin: and he will review them from the son of twenty years and above, and he will find them three hundred thousand chosen going forth to war, holding spear and shield. 6 And he will hire from Israel a hundred thousand strong of power, with a hundred talents of silver. 2 Chronicles 25:1-6, Smith's Literal Translation.
