בִּשְׁנַת שְׁתַּיִם לְיוֹאָשׁ בֶּן־יוֹאָחָז מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל מָלַךְ אֲמַצְיָהוּ בֶן־יוֹאָשׁ מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָֽה׃

בֶּן־עֶשְׂרִים וְחָמֵשׁ שָׁנָה הָיָה בְמׇלְכוֹ וְעֶשְׂרִים וָתֵשַׁע שָׁנָה מָלַךְ בִּירוּשָׁלָ͏ִם וְשֵׁם אִמּוֹ (יהועדין) [יְהוֹעַדָּן] מִן־יְרוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃

וַיַּעַשׂ הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינֵי יְהֹוָה רַק לֹא כְּדָוִד אָבִיו כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂה יוֹאָשׁ אָבִיו עָשָֽׂה׃
And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, yet not like David his father: he did according to all things as Yo᾽ash his father had done.

רַק הַבָּמוֹת לֹא־סָרוּ עוֹד הָעָם מְזַבְּחִים וּֽמְקַטְּרִים בַּבָּמֽוֹת׃
But the high places were not taken away: as yet the people sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places.

וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר חָזְקָה הַמַּמְלָכָה בְּיָדוֹ וַיַּךְ אֶת־עֲבָדָיו הַמַּכִּים אֶת־הַמֶּלֶךְ אָבִֽיו׃
And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand, that he slew his servants who had slain the king his father.
And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand, that he slew his servants who had slain the king his father.
וְאֶת־בְּנֵי הַמַּכִּים לֹא הֵמִית כַּכָּתוּב בְּסֵֽפֶר־תּֽוֹרַת־מֹשֶׁה אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּה יְהֹוָה לֵאמֹר לֹא־יוּמְתוּ אָבוֹת עַל־בָּנִים וּבָנִים לֹא־יוּמְתוּ עַל־אָבוֹת כִּי אִם־אִישׁ בְּחֶטְאוֹ (ימות) [יוּמָֽת]׃
But the children of the murderers he slew not: according to that which is written in the book of the Tora of Moshe, 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.

Rashi
אָז שָׁלַח אֲמַצְיָה מַלְאָכִים אֶל־יְהוֹאָשׁ בֶּן־יְהוֹאָחָז בֶּן־יֵהוּא מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר לְכָה נִתְרָאֶה פָנִֽים׃
Then Amażya sent messengers to Yeho᾽ash, the son of Yeho᾽aĥaz son of Yehu, king of Yisra᾽el, saying, Come, let us look one another in the face.
Then Amażya sent messengers to Yeho᾽ash, the son of Yeho᾽aĥaz son of Yehu, king of Yisra᾽el, saying, Come, let us look one another in the face.
Rashi
אז שלח אמציה מלאכים וגו' נתראה פנים. במלחמה:
Amatzyoh then sent messengers, etc., “let us battle each other.” [By going] to war.3Previously, Yehoash’s men had invaded Yehudah in a surprise attack, because Amatzyohu had abruptly dismissed Yehoash’s men from going to war with him. See II Divrei Hayomim 25:10, 13. Amatzyohu now challenged Amatzyohu to confront him in battle.—Metzudas Dovid
וַיִּשְׁלַח יְהוֹאָשׁ מֶלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־אֲמַצְיָהוּ מֶלֶךְ־יְהוּדָה לֵאמֹר הַחוֹחַ אֲשֶׁר בַּלְּבָנוֹן שָׁלַח אֶל־הָאֶרֶז אֲשֶׁר בַּלְּבָנוֹן לֵאמֹר תְּנָה־אֶת־בִּתְּךָ לִבְנִי לְאִשָּׁה וַֽתַּעֲבֹר חַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה אֲשֶׁר בַּלְּבָנוֹן וַתִּרְמֹס אֶת־הַחֽוֹחַ׃
And Yeho᾽ash the king of Yisra᾽el sent to Amażya king of Yehuda, saying, The thistle that was in the Levanon sent to the cedar that was in the Levanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in the Levanon, and trampled down the thistle.
And Yeho᾽ash the king of Yisra᾽el sent to Amażya king of Yehuda, saying, The thistle that was in the Levanon sent to the cedar that was in the Levanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in the Levanon, and trampled down the thistle.
Rashi
החוח אשר בלבנון. שכם בן חמור:
“The thistle that was in Levanon. Shechem son of Chamor.
שלח אל הארז. יעקב:
Sent [a message] to the cedar tree. Yaakov.
ותעבור חית השדה. בני יעקב באו על החללים, אף כאן אתה בא להתמשל אלי ומשל בזיון הוא, שדימהו לחוח, ואת עצמו לארז:
And it passed by the wild beast [that was in Levanon]. “Yaakov’s sons came upon the slain.”4Bereishis 34:27. Here too, you come to compare yourself to me. This comparison was to humiliate him, for he likened him [Amatzyohu] to a thistle, and himself to a cedar [tree].5Yehoash, whose grandfather Yeihu, completely destroyed Achov and his family, was mocking Amatzyohu, who was Achov’s descendant.
ותעבור חית השדה אשר בלבנון ותרמוס וגו'. לפי שנתגאית, אף אתה ירמסוך גדודי חיילותי:
And the wild beast that was in Levanon passed by and trampled, etc. Because you are arrogant, the troops of my armies will trample you too.
הַכֵּה הִכִּיתָ אֶת־אֱדוֹם וּֽנְשָׂאֲךָ לִבֶּךָ הִכָּבֵד וְשֵׁב בְּבֵיתֶךָ וְלָמָּה תִתְגָּרֶה בְּרָעָה וְנָפַלְתָּה אַתָּה וִיהוּדָה עִמָּֽךְ׃
Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thy heart has lifted thee up: keep thy glory and stay at home: for why shouldst thou meddle with evil, that thou shouldst fall, thou, and Yehuda with thee?
Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thy heart has lifted thee up: keep thy glory and stay at home: for why shouldst thou meddle with evil, that thou shouldst fall, thou, and Yehuda with thee?
וְלֹא־שָׁמַע אֲמַצְיָהוּ וַיַּעַל יְהוֹאָשׁ מֶֽלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּתְרָאוּ פָנִים הוּא וַאֲמַצְיָהוּ מֶלֶךְ־יְהוּדָה בְּבֵית שֶׁמֶשׁ אֲשֶׁר לִיהוּדָֽה׃
But Amażyahu would not hear. Therefore Yeho᾽ash king of Yisra᾽el went up; and he and Amażyahu king of Yehuda looked one another in the face at Bet-shemesh, which belongs to Yehuda.

And Yeho᾽ash king of Yisra᾽el took Amażyahu king of Yehuda, the son of Yeho᾽ash the son of Aĥazyahu, at Bet-shemesh, and came to Yerushalayim and broke down the wall of Yerushalayim from the Gate of Efrayim to the Corner Gate, four hundred cubits.
And Yeho᾽ash king of Yisra᾽el took Amażyahu king of Yehuda, the son of Yeho᾽ash the son of Aĥazyahu, at Bet-shemesh, and came to Yerushalayim and broke down the wall of Yerushalayim from the Gate of Efrayim to the Corner Gate, four hundred cubits.
וְלָקַח אֶת־כׇּל־הַזָּֽהָב־וְהַכֶּסֶף וְאֵת כׇּל־הַכֵּלִים הַנִּמְצְאִים בֵּית־יְהֹוָה וּבְאֹֽצְרוֹת בֵּית הַמֶּלֶךְ וְאֵת בְּנֵי הַתַּעֲרֻבוֹת וַיָּשׇׁב שֹׁמְרֽוֹנָה׃

ואת בני התערובות. בני השרים, שהיו נתונים בבית המלך לערבון, שלא ימרדו אבותם בו וכן תרגם יונתן: בני רברביא:
And the children [held] hostage. The children of the princes, who were placed in the king’s palace as security that their fathers would not rebel against him. And so did [Targum] Yonoson render, “ the children of the princes.”
וְיֶתֶר דִּבְרֵי יְהוֹאָשׁ אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה וּגְבוּרָתוֹ וַאֲשֶׁר נִלְחַם עִם אֲמַצְיָהוּ מֶלֶךְ־יְהוּדָה הֲלֹא־הֵם כְּתוּבִים עַל־סֵפֶר דִּבְרֵי הַיָּמִים לְמַלְכֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Now the rest of the acts of Yeho᾽ash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amażyahu king of Yehuda, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Yisra᾽el?
Now the rest of the acts of Yeho᾽ash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amażyahu king of Yehuda, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Yisra᾽el?
וַיִּשְׁכַּב יְהוֹאָשׁ עִם־אֲבֹתָיו וַיִּקָּבֵר בְּשֹׁמְרוֹן עִם מַלְכֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּמְלֹךְ יָרׇבְעָם בְּנוֹ תַּחְתָּֽיו׃ {פ}

ויחי אמציהו וגו'. כל חמש עשרה שנה מלך עוזיהו בנו בחייו, שכן כתוב בדברי הימים (שם פסוק כז): ומעת אשר סר אמציהו מאחר ה':
And Amatzyohu … lived, etc. The entire fifteen years, Uzziyohu his son reigned during his lifetime, for so it is written, “And since the time that Amatzyoh turned away from following the Adonoy.”6II Divrei Hayomim 25:27.
וְיֶתֶר דִּבְרֵי אֲמַצְיָהוּ הֲלֹא־הֵם כְּתֻבִים עַל־סֵפֶר דִּבְרֵי הַיָּמִים לְמַלְכֵי יְהוּדָֽה׃
And the rest of the acts of Amażyahu, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Yehuda?

Now they made a conspiracy against him in Yerushalayim: and he fled to Lakhish; but they sent after him to Lakhish, and slew him there.
Rashi
ויקשרו עליו וגו'. מששמעו מה שאמר הנביא, כי יעץ ה' להשחיתך:
They conspired a revolt against him, etc. Because they heard what the prophet said, “that God has made a plan to destroy you.”7Ibid. v. 16.
וינס לכישה. שם היה כל חמש עשרה שנה:
And he fled to Lakish. He was there for the entire fifteen years.
וַיִּשְׂאוּ אֹתוֹ עַל־הַסּוּסִים וַיִּקָּבֵר בִּירוּשָׁלַ͏ִם עִם־אֲבֹתָיו בְּעִיר דָּוִֽד׃

He built Elat, and restored it to Yehuda, after the king slept with his fathers.
He built Elat, and restored it to Yehuda, after the king slept with his fathers.
Rashi
אחרי שכב המלך עם אבותיו. אחרי מות אמציה אביו, מכאן אתה למד שמלך עוזיה בימי אביו, ומכל מקום לא נתנה אילת בידו עד לאחר מות אביו, שאם לא מלך בחיי אביו למה לו לומר אחרי שכב המלך עם אבותיו, וכשאתה מונה ימי הבית על פי שנות המלכים, אם אינך מחסר ט"ו שנים הללו שנמנית לאמציה ולעוזיהו, תמצא שעמד ארבע מאות ועשרים וחמש:
After the king lay with his forefathers. After the death of his father Amatzyoh. From here you deduce that Uzziyoh reigned during his father’s lifetime. Nevertheless, Eilas was not delivered into his hand until after his father’s death, for if he did not reign during his father’s lifetime, why was it necessary to state, “after the king lay with his forefathers”? And when you count the days of the Beis [Hamikdosh] according to the years of the kings, if you do not subtract these fifteen years, which are counted for Amatzyoh and Uzziyohu, you will find that it existed four hundred twenty-five years.8The Beis Hamikdosh stood 410 years according to the Gemara in Maseches Yoma 9a; this figure can be arrived at by subtracting these 15 years from 425.
בִּשְׁנַת חֲמֵשׁ־עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה לַאֲמַצְיָהוּ בֶן־יוֹאָשׁ מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה מָלַךְ יָרׇבְעָם בֶּן־יוֹאָשׁ מֶֽלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּשֹׁמְרוֹן אַרְבָּעִים וְאַחַת שָׁנָֽה׃

In the fifteenth year of Amażyahu the son of Yo᾽ash king of Yehuda, Yorov῾am the son of Yo᾽ash king of Yisra᾽el began to reign in Shomeron, and he reigned forty one years.
וַיַּעַשׂ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהֹוָה לֹא סָר מִכׇּל־חַטֹּאות יָרׇבְעָם בֶּן־נְבָט אֲשֶׁר הֶחֱטִיא אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord: he departed not from all the sins of Yorov῾am the son of Nevat, who made Yisra᾽el to sin.

הוּא הֵשִׁיב אֶת־גְּבוּל יִשְׂרָאֵל מִלְּבוֹא חֲמָת עַד־יָם הָעֲרָבָה כִּדְבַר יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר בְּיַד־עַבְדּוֹ יוֹנָה בֶן־אֲמִתַּי הַנָּבִיא אֲשֶׁר מִגַּת הַחֵֽפֶר׃
He restored the border of Yisra᾽el from the entrance of Ḥamat to the sea of the ῾Arava, according to the word of the Lord God of Yisra᾽el, which he spoke by the hand of his servant Yona, the son of Amittay, the prophet, who was of Gat-ĥefer.

Rashi
הוא השיב. מיד מלכי ארם:
He restored. From the hand of Arom.
יונה בן אמתי. הוא שמשח את יהוא, שאמר לו בני רבעים ישבו לך אבל רבותינו (יבמות צא א): דקדקו, (יונה ג א:) ויהי דבר ה' אל יונה שנית, ולא שלישית, לפי שתבע כבוד הבן, ולא תבע כבוד האב, והוקשה להם זה המקרא, ותרצוהו, כדבר ה' אשר דבר ביד יונה לנינוה, ונהפכה גזרת רעה לטובה, כך נהפך לישראל בימי ירבעם בן יואש, מרעה שהיו בה, אשר אבדם מלך ארם וישימם כעפר לדוש, ועכשיו נהפך להם לטובה:
Yonah son of Amitai. He was the one who anointed Yeihu, who said to him, “[Your] descendants of the fourth generation will occupy [the throne of Yisroel].”9Yonah 3:1. Our Rabbis, however, deduced, “And the word of Adonoy came to Yonah a second time,”10Alternatively, God spoke to Yonah only twice concerning Nineveh, but He spoke to him many times concerning other matters.—Radak but not a third time, because he demanded the honor of the son, but he did not demand the honor of the Father. This verse was therefore difficult to them, and they reconciled it [as follows]: Just like the word of Adonoy, Who had spoken through Yonah concerning Nineveh, and the evil decree was overturned for good, so was it changed for Yisroel in the days of Yerovom son of Yoash, from the distress in which they were found, that “the Arom’s king had destroyed them and trampled them like dirt,”11Above, 13:7. and now it was changed for the good.12See Maseches Yevamos 98a.
כִּי־רָאָה יְהֹוָה אֶת־עֳנִי יִשְׂרָאֵל מֹרֶה מְאֹד וְאֶפֶס עָצוּר וְאֶפֶס עָזוּב וְאֵין עֹזֵר לְיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
For the Lord saw the affliction of Yisra᾽el that it was very bitter: for there was not any shut up, nor any left free, nor any helper for Yisra᾽el.
For the Lord saw the affliction of Yisra᾽el that it was very bitter: for there was not any shut up, nor any left free, nor any helper for Yisra᾽el.
Rashi
מורה מאד. מיצר מאד, קונטריאי"ש בלע"ז כמו (יהושע א יח): אשר ימרה את פיך ; (דברים ט כד): ממרים הייתם; (בראשית כו לד) ותהיין מרת רוח. ויש פותרים: מורה מאד, ירוד מאד, לשון (שמות טו א): ירה בים:
Intensifying increasingly. Very vexing, contrarios, in O.F., as in, “who will rebel [יַמְרֶה] against your command,”13Yehoshua 1:18. [and as in,] “You have been contrary [מַמְרִים],”14Devorim 9:24. [and as in,] “and they were a source of spiritual bitterness [מֹרַת רוּח].”15Bereishis 26:38. Others interpret מוֹרֶה מְאֹד as “very low,” an expression of, “He hurled [יָרָה] into the sea.”16Shemos 15:4.
וְלֹא־דִבֶּר יְהֹוָה לִמְחוֹת אֶת־שֵׁם יִשְׂרָאֵל מִתַּחַת הַשָּׁמָיִם וַיּוֹשִׁיעֵם בְּיַד יָרׇבְעָם בֶּן־יוֹאָֽשׁ׃
For the Lord had not said that he would blot out the name of Yisra᾽el from under heaven: but he saved them by the hand of Yorov῾am the son of Yo᾽ash.

Now the rest of the acts of Yorov῾am, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Dammeseq, and Ḥamat (which had belonged to Yehuda) for Yisra᾽el, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Yisra᾽el?

And Yorov῾am slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Yisra᾽el, and Zekharya his son reigned in his stead.
ויקרא את שמה יקתאל. שהיתה לו לקיהוי שינים, כמו שכתוב בדברי הימים (ב כה יד): אחרי בוא אמציהו מהכות את אדומים, ויבא את אלהי בני שעיר ויעמידם לו לאלהים, ולפניהם ישתחוה וגו'. והוכיחו הנביא ואמר לו (שם פסוק טז): ידעתי כי יעץ אלהים להשחיתך, ומה היא העצה, שהשיאו להתגרות במלך ישראל:
And named it Yokseil. For it set his teeth on edge, as it is written, “After Amatzyohu came from killing the Edomites, he brought the gods of the children of Seir, etc., for deities, he would bow down to them, etc.,”1II Divrei Hayomim 25:14. and the prophet rebuked him and said to him, “I know that God has made a plan to destroy you.”2Ibid. v. 16. Now what was the advice? That He persuaded him to incite the king of Yisroel.
