12. Judah was routed by the army of Israel, and its army scattered and fled for home.

13. King Jehoash of Israel captured Judah’s king, Amaziah son of Joash and grandson of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh. Then he marched to Jerusalem, where he demolished 600 feet of Jerusalem’s wall, from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate.

14. He carried off all the gold and silver and all the articles from the Temple of the lord. He also seized the treasures from the royal palace, along with hostages, and then returned to Samaria.
