2 Chronicles 25:5-13

5And Amaziah gathered Judah together and arranged them according to the fathers' houses, according to the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, throughout Judah and Benjamin; and he numbered them from twenty years old and upwards, and found them three hundred thousand choice men, able for military service, that could handle spear and target.

6He hired also a hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of Israel for a hundred talents of silver.

7But there came a man of 1God to him, saying, O king, let not the host of Israel go with thee; for Jehovah is not with Israel, [with] all the children of Ephraim.

8But if thou wilt go, do [it]; be strong for the battle: 2God will make thee fall before the enemy, for there is with 3God power to help and to cast down.

9And Amaziah said to the man of 4God, But what is to be done for the hundred talents which I have given to the troop of Israel? And the man of 5God said, Jehovah is able to give thee much more than this.

10Then Amaziah separated them, — the troop that was come to him out of Ephraim, — to go home again. And their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in fierce anger.

11But Amaziah strengthened himself, and led forth his people, and went to the valley of salt, and smote of the children of Seir ten thousand.

12And the children of Judah took ten thousand captive, alive, and brought them to the top of the cliff, and cast them down from the top of the cliff, so that they all were broken in pieces.

13But those of the troop that Amaziah had sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah from Samaria as far as Beth-horon, and smote three thousand of them, and took much spoil.
