Amaziah sends messengers to Jehoash king of Israel, and Jehoash takes Amaziah at Beth Shemesh and breaks down the wall of Jerusalem

아마샤가 이스라엘 왕 요아스에게 대면하자 하매 요아스가 벧세메스에서 아마샤를 사로잡고 예루살렘 성벽을 헒

2 Kings 14:8–14: Amaziah sends messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, let’s look one another in the face.” Jehoash the king of Israel sends 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.’ Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by, and trampled down the thistle. You have indeed struck Edom, and your heart has lifted you up. Enjoy the glory of it, and stay at home; for why should you meddle to your harm, that you fall, even you, and Judah with you?” But Amaziah would not listen. So Jehoash king of Israel goes up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah look one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah. Judah is defeated by Israel; and each man flees to his tent. Jehoash king of Israel takes Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh and comes to Jerusalem, then breaks down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits. He takes all the gold and silver and all the vessels that were found in the LORD’s house and in the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returns to Samaria. At 14:13 WEB gives both kings the name Jehoash: “Jehoash king of Israel” takes “Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah”. The Korean Revised Version calls both kings 요아스, Joash, and reads 14:13 아하시야의 손자 요아스의 아들 유다 왕 아마샤, Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash the grandson of Ahaziah; at 14:8 it reads 예후의 손자 여호아하스의 아들 이스라엘 왕 요아스, Joash king of Israel, the son of Jehoahaz the grandson of Jehu; at 14:11 유다의 벧세메스, Beth Shemesh of Judah; and it names no one at 14:14, where WEB says “He”.

Current wording: 2 Kings 14:8–14: Amaziah sends messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, let’s look one another in the face.” Jehoash the king of Israel sends 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.’ Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by, and trampled down the thistle. You have indeed struck Edom, and your heart has lifted you up. Enjoy the glory of it, and stay at home; for why should you meddle to your harm, that you fall, even you, and Judah with you?” But Amaziah would not listen. So Jehoash king of Israel goes up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah look one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah. Judah is defeated by Israel; and each man flees to his tent. Jehoash king of Israel takes Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh and comes to Jerusalem, then breaks down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits. He takes all the gold and silver and all the vessels that were found in the LORD’s house and in the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returns to Samaria. At 14:13 WEB gives both kings the name Jehoash: “Jehoash king of Israel” takes “Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah”. The Korean Revised Version calls both kings 요아스, Joash, and reads 14:13 아하시야의 손자 요아스의 아들 유다 왕 아마샤, Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash the grandson of Ahaziah; at 14:8 it reads 예후의 손자 여호아하스의 아들 이스라엘 왕 요아스, Joash king of Israel, the son of Jehoahaz the grandson of Jehu; at 14:11 유다의 벧세메스, Beth Shemesh of Judah; and it names no one at 14:14, where WEB says “He”.
