BRAGADAYJAH 1101



BRAGADAYJAH 1101
Deaths of Jehoash – Amaziah – Jeroboam.
Eventually the king of Israel Jehoash died and Amaziah king of Judah continued to reign in Judah. But the people of Jerusalem made a conspiracy against him and he fled to Lachish; but they chased him there and slew him; and they bought him on horses to Jerusalem and buried him with his fathers in the city of David. And the multitude of the people took Azariah his sixteen year old son and made him king. While being king he built Elath and restored it to Judah; and after that he died. In the meantime, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Amaziah Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria. And he reigned forty one years. And Jeroboam did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord. But he restored the coasts of Israel from the entering of Hama
th unto the sea of the plain according to the word of the Lord God of Israel which he spoke by the mouth of His servant Jonah, the son of Amattai the prophet which was of Gah-Hepher. For the Lord saw the affliction of Israel that it was very bitter; for there not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for Israel. For the Lord had not said that He would blot out Israel from under heaven; so He saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash. And Jeroboam died and was buried and he was succeeded by his son Zachariah.
