27 Now after the time H6256 that Amaziah H558 did turn away H5493 from following H310 the LORD H3068 they made H7194 a conspiracy H7195 against him in Jerusalem; H3389 and he fled H5127 to Lachish: H3923 but they sent H7971 to Lachish H3923 after H310 him, and slew H4191 him there.
And Joshua H3091 passed H5674 from Libnah, H3841 and all Israel H3478 with him, unto Lachish, H3923 and encamped H2583 against it, and fought H3898 against it:
Now they made H7194 a conspiracy H7195 against him in Jerusalem: H3389 and he fled H5127 to Lachish; H3923 but they sent H7971 after H310 him to Lachish, H3923 and slew H4191 him there.
And he went out H3318 to meet H6440 Asa, H609 and said H559 unto him, Hear H8085 ye me, Asa, H609 and all Judah H3063 and Benjamin; H1144 The LORD H3068 is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek H1875 him, he will be found H4672 of you; but if ye forsake H5800 him, he will forsake H5800 you.
And when they were departed H3212 from him, (for they left H5800 him in great H7227 diseases,) H4251 his own servants H5650 conspired H7194 against him for the blood H1818 of the sons H1121 of Jehoiada H3077 the priest, H3548 and slew H2026 him on his bed, H4296 and he died: H4191 and they buried H6912 him in the city H5892 of David, H1732 but they buried H6912 him not in the sepulchres H6913 of the kings.
