2 Chronicles 25:5-16

5Then AmaziahH558 gatheredH6908 the people of JudahH3063H5975 and assigned them according to their familiesH1H1004 to commandersH8269 of thousandsH505 and of hundredsH3967. And he numberedH6485 those twentyH6242 years of ageH1121H8141 or olderH4605 throughoutH3605 JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144 and foundH4672 300,000H7969H3967H505 chosenH977 men able to serveH3318 in the armyH6635, bearingH270 the spearH7420 and shieldH6793.

6He also hiredH7936 100,000H3967H505 mighty menH1368 of valorH2428 from IsraelH3478 for a hundredH3967 talentsH3603 of silverH3701.1 7But a manH376 of GodH430 cameH935 to himH413 and saidH559, “O kingH4428, do not letH408 the armyH6635 of IsraelH3478 goH935 with youH5973, forH3588 the LORDH3068 is notH369 withH5973 IsraelH3478—not with anyH3605 of the EphraimitesH1121H669. 8EvenH3588 ifH518 youH859 goH935 and fightH6213 bravelyH2388 in battleH4421, GodH430 will overthrow youH3782 beforeH6440 the enemyH341, forH3588 GodH430 hasH3426 powerH3581 to helpH5826 and power to overthrowH3782.”

9AmaziahH558 askedH559 the manH376 of GodH430, “WhatH4100 should I doH6213 about the hundredH3967 talentsH3603 I have givenH5414 to the troopsH1416 of IsraelH3478?”

And the manH376 of GodH430H3426 repliedH559, “The LORDH3068 is able to giveH5414 you much moreH7235 than thisH2088.”

10So AmaziahH558 dismissedH914 the troopsH1416 whoH834 had comeH935 to himH413 from EphraimH669 and sent themH1980 homeH4725. And they were furiousH2734H639H3966 with JudahH3063 and returnedH7725 homeH4725 in greatH2750 angerH639.

11Amaziah, howeverH558, summoned his strengthH2388 and ledH5090 his troopsH5971H1980 to the Valley of SaltH1516H4417, where he struck downH5221 10,000H6235H505 menH1121 of SeirH8165, 12and the armyH1121 of JudahH3063 also capturedH7617 10,000H6235H505 men aliveH2416. They took themH935 to the topH7218 of a cliffH5553H7218 and threw them downH7993 so that allH3605 were dashed to piecesH1234.

13MeanwhileH1121 the troopsH1416 thatH834 AmaziahH558 had dismissedH7725 from battleH1980H5973H4421 raidedH6584 the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, from SamariaH8111 toH5704 Beth-horonH1032. They struck downH5221 3,000H7969H505 people and carried offH962 a great deal ofH7227 plunderH961.

WhenH310 AmaziahH558 returnedH935 from the slaughterH5221 ofH853 the EdomitesH130, he brought backH935 the godsH430 of the SeiritesH1121H8165, set them upH5975 as his own godsH430, bowedH7812 before themH6440, and burned sacrificesH6999 to them. 15Therefore the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 burnedH2734 against AmaziahH558, and He sentH7971 himH413 a prophetH5030, who saidH559, “WhyH4100 have you soughtH1875 this people’sH5971 godsH430, whichH834 could notH3808 deliverH5337 them from your handH3027?”

16

While he was still speakingH1696, the king askedH559, “Have we made youH5414 the counselorH3289 to the kingH4428? StopH2308! WhyH4100 be struck downH5221?”

So the prophetH5030 stoppedH2308, but he saidH559, “I knowH3045 thatH3588 GodH430 has determinedH3289 to destroy youH7843, becauseH3588 you have doneH6213 thisH2063 and have notH3808 heededH8085 my adviceH6098.”
