約書亞既沒、以色列族問於耶和華曰、孰可先往、代我攻迦南人。耶和華曰猶大族可往、我以是地付於其手。

俱至伯特利、問於上帝、曰、我中誰可先攻便雅憫族。耶和華曰、猶大可先往。

無良謀、邦必喪、集眾議、國以安。

押尼耳呼約押曰、以刃擊人、何久不已、豈不知、及其終也、必有困苦。民追同儔、爾不止之、將至何時。約押曰、我指上帝以誓、如爾無角技之舉、則自朝迄今民不追其兄弟。

以色列族億兆、至於伯特利哭泣、坐於耶和華前禁食、待及薄暮、以燔祭酬恩祭獻於耶和華。當時上帝之約匱在彼、亞倫孫、以利亞撒子非尼哈立於其前、以色列族問於耶和華曰、我儕復攻同儕便雅憫族、或往乎、或止乎。耶和華曰、往哉、明日我將以之付於爾手。

猶大王亞馬謝、與群臣謀、遣使至以色列王耶戶之孫約哈斯子約轄、曰、汝來以決一戰。以色列王約轄曰利巴嫩有荊棘、謂柏香木云、當以爾女妻我子。猝有獸過、荊棘為其蹂躪。今王既擊以東人、中心驕奢、深居九重、亦可已矣。何為自取其禍、欲與猶大族偕亡。亞馬謝之弗聽、皆出上帝意、因彼宗事以東人上帝、將使彼為敵所敗。以色列王約轄、至猶大之伯示麥、與亞馬謝戰、猶大為以色列所敗、遁歸故土。以色列王約轄、在伯示麥、執猶大王約哈斯孫約轄子亞馬謝、往耶路撒冷、墮其都城、自以法蓮門至邑隅之門、共四十丈。
