2. Kongebok 14,2
1 I det andre året til Joasj, sønn av Joahaz, konge av Israel, begynte Amasja, sønn av Joasj, konge av Juda, å regjere.
Amasja var tjuefem år gammel da han begynte å regjere, og han regjerte i tjueni år i Jerusalem. Hans mor var Jehoaddin fra Jerusalem.
3 Han gjorde det som var rett i Herrens øyne, men ikke som hans forfar David hadde gjort. Han fulgte eksemplet satt av sin far Joasj.
4 Men offerhaugene ble ikke fjernet; folket fortsatte å ofre og brenne røkelse der.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
