6 But the children of the murderers he slew not: according unto that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein the Lord commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
7 He slew of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand, and took Selah by war, and called the name of it Jok´theel unto this day.
8 Then Amazi´ah sent messengers to Jeho´ash, the son of Jeho´ahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look one another in the face.
9 And Jeho´ash the king of Israel sent to Amazi´ah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.
10 Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thine heart hath lifted thee up: glory of this, and tarry at home: for why shouldest thou meddle to thy hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?
11 But Amazi´ah would not hear. Therefore Jeho´ash king of Israel went up; and he and Amazi´ah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth–she´mesh, which belongeth to Judah.
12 And Judah was put to the worse before Israel; and they fled every man to their tents.
