And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Bethshemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
Joás, rey de Israel, capturó a Amasías, rey de Judá (quien era hijo de Joás y nieto de Joacaz), en Bet-semes. Luego llevó a Amasías a Jerusalén y derribó una sección de la muralla de Jerusalén desde la puerta de Efraín hasta la puerta del Ángulo, aproximadamente 180 metros de muralla.
Joás de Israel derrotó a Amasías de Judá y destruyó parte de la muralla de Jerusalén como muestra de su victoria.

During the divided kingdom period of ancient Israel in the 8th century BC, King Amaziah of Judah had achieved military success against Edom but then unwisely provoked Joash, the king of Israel, leading to a decisive battle. Joash defeated Amaziah at Beth Shemesh, captured him, and then advanced to Jerusalem to demonstrate his superiority by breaching the city's walls. This event highlights the ongoing conflicts and power struggles between the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah, reflecting the consequences of poor leadership decisions.
