2 Chronicles 25:6-16
6He hiredH7936 also a hundredH3967 thousandH505 mightyH1368 menH1368 of valor out of IsraelH3478 for a hundredH3967 talentsH3603 of silverH3701. 7But there cameH935 a manH376 of GodH430 to him, sayingH559, O kingH4428, let not the armyH6635 of IsraelH3478 goH935 with thee; for Jehovah is not with IsraelH3478, to wit, with all the children of EphraimH669. 8But if thou wilt goH935, do valiantly, be strongH2388 for the battleH4421: GodH430 will cast thee down before the enemyH341; for GodH430 hath powerH3581 to helpH5826, and to cast down. 9And AmaziahH558 saidH559 to the manH376 of GodH430, But what shall we do for the hundredH3967 talentsH3603 which I have givenH5414 to the army of IsraelH3478? And the manH376 of GodH430 answered, Jehovah is able to giveH5414 thee muchH7235 more than this. 10Then AmaziahH558 separatedH914 them, to wit, the army that was comeH935 to him out of EphraimH669, to goH935 home again: wherefore their angerH639 was greatly kindled against JudahH3063, and they returnedH7725 home in fierce angerH639. 11And AmaziahH558 tookH2388 courage, and ledH5090 forth his peopleH5971, and went to the ValleyH1516 of SaltH4417, and smote of the children of SeirH8165 tenH6235 thousandH505. 12And other tenH6235 thousandH505 did the children of JudahH3063 carry awayH7993 aliveH2416, and broughtH935 them unto the topH7218 of the rockH5553, and castH7993 them downH7993 from the topH7218 of the rockH5553, so that they were all brokenH1234 in pieces. 13But the men of the army whom AmaziahH558 sent backH7725, that they should not goH7725 with him to battleH4421, fell upon the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, from SamariaH8111 even unto Beth-horonH1032, and smote of them threeH7969 thousandH505, and tookH962 muchH7227 spoilH962.
14Now it cameH935 to pass, after that AmaziahH558 wasH1961 comeH935 from the slaughter of the EdomitesH130, that he broughtH935 the godsH430 of the children of SeirH8165, and setH5975 them up to beH1961 his godsH430, and bowedH7812 downH5221 himself before them, and burned incenseH6999 unto them. 15Wherefore the angerH639 of Jehovah was kindled against AmaziahH558, and he sentH7971 unto him a prophetH5030, who saidH559 unto him, WhyH4100 hast thou soughtH1875 after the godsH430 of the peopleH5971, which have not deliveredH5337 their own peopleH5971 out of thy handH3027? 16And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, Have we madeH6213 thee of the king’sH4428 counselH6098? forbear; whyH4100 shouldest thou beH1961 smitten? Then the prophetH5030 forbare, and saidH559, I knowH3045 that GodH430 hath determined to destroyH7843 thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counselH6098.
