2 Kings 14:11-13
New English Translation

11 But Amaziah would not heed the warning,[a] so King Jehoash of Israel attacked.[b] He and King Amaziah of Judah met face to face[c] in Beth Shemesh of Judah. 12 Judah was defeated by Israel, and each man ran back home.[d] 13 King Jehoash of Israel captured King Amaziah of Judah, son of Jehoash son of Ahaziah, in Beth Shemesh. He[e] attacked[f] Jerusalem and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Gate of Ephraim to the Corner Gate—a distance of about 600 feet.[g]

Footnotes

  1. 2 Kings 14:11 tn Heb “did not listen.”
  2. 2 Kings 14:11 tn Heb “went up.”
  3. 2 Kings 14:11 tn Heb “looked at each other [in the] face.”
  4. 2 Kings 14:12 tn Heb “and Judah was struck down before Israel and they fled, each to his tent.”
  5. 2 Kings 14:13 tc The MT has the plural form of the verb, but the final vav (ו) is virtually dittographic. The word that immediately follows in the Hebrew text begins with a yod (י). The form should be emended to the singular, which is consistent in number with the verb (“he broke down”) that follows.
  6. 2 Kings 14:13 tn Heb “came to.”
  7. 2 Kings 14:13 tn Heb “400 cubits.” The standard cubit in the OT is assumed by most authorities to be about 18 inches (45 cm) long.
