2 Chronicles 25

1Amaziah was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.

בֶּן־עֶשְׂרִים וְחָמֵשׁ שָׁנָה מָלַךְ אֲמַצְיָהוּ וְעֶשְׂרִים וָתֵשַׁע שָׁנָה מָלַךְ בִּירוּשָׁלִָם וְשֵׁם אִמֹּו יְהֹועַדָּן מִירוּשָׁלָיִם׃ (5232)

2And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart.

וַיַּעַשׂ הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה רַק לֹא בְּלֵבָב שָׁלֵם׃ (1806)

3Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father.

וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר חָזְקָה הַמַּמְלָכָה עָלָיו וַיַּהֲרֹג אֶת־עֲבָדָיו הַמַּכִּים אֶת־הַמֶּלֶךְ אָבִיו׃ (2275)

4But he slew not their children, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, where the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.

וְאֶת־בְּנֵיהֶם לֹא הֵמִית כִּי כַכָּתוּב בַּתֹּורָה בְּסֵפֶר מֹשֶׁה אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּה יְהוָה לֵאמֹר לֹא־יָמוּתוּ אָבֹות עַל־בָּנִים וּבָנִים לֹא־יָמוּתוּ עַל־אָבֹות כִּי אִישׁ בְּחֶטְאֹו יָמוּתוּ׃ (6720)

5Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and made them captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, according to the houses of their fathers, throughout all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and above, and found them three hundred thousand choice men, able to go forth to war, that could handle spear and shield.

וַיִּקְבֹּץ אֲמַצְיָהוּ אֶת־יְהוּדָה וַיַּעֲמִידֵם לְבֵית־אָבֹות לְשָׂרֵי הָאֲלָפִים וּלְשָׂרֵי הַמֵּאֹות לְכָל־יְהוּדָה וּבִנְיָמִן וַיִּפְקְדֵם לְמִבֶּן עֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָה וָמַעְלָה וַיִּמְצָאֵם שְׁלֹשׁ־מֵאֹות אֶלֶף בָּחוּר יֹוצֵא צָבָא אֹחֵז רֹמַח וְצִנָּה׃ (7488)

6He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of Israel for an hundred talents of silver.

וַיִּשְׂכֹּר מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל מֵאָה אֶלֶף גִּבֹּור חָיִל בְּמֵאָה כִכַּר־כָּסֶף׃ (1981)
