2 Chronicles 25:11-23

11But AmaziahH558 strengthenedH2388 himself, and ledH5090 forth his peopleH5971, and went to the valleyH1516 of saltH4417, and smote of the children of SeirH8165 tenH6235 thousandH505.

12And the children of JudahH3063 tookH7617 tenH6235 thousandH505 captiveH7617, aliveH2416, and broughtH935 them to the topH7218 of the cliffH5553, and castH7993 them downH7993 from the topH7218 of the cliffH5553, so that they all were brokenH1234 in pieces.

13But those of the troopH1416 that AmaziahH558 had sent backH7725, that they should not goH7725 with him to battleH4421, fell upon the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 from SamariaH8111 as far as Beth-horonH1032, and smote threeH7969 thousandH505 of them, and tookH962 muchH7227 spoilH962.

14And it cameH935 to pass after AmaziahH558 wasH1961 comeH935 from the slaughter of the EdomitesH130, that he broughtH935 the 1godsH430 of the children of SeirH8165, and setH5975 them up to beH1961 his 2godsH430, and bowedH7812 himself downH5221 before them, and burned incenseH6999 to them.

15And the angerH639 of Jehovah was kindled against AmaziahH558, and he sentH7971 to him a prophetH5030, who saidH559 to him, WhyH4100 dost thou seekH1875 after the 3godsH430 of a peopleH5971 who have not deliveredH5337 their own peopleH5971 out of thy handH3027?

16And it came to pass as he talked with him, that [Amaziah] saidH559 to him, Hast thou beenH1961 madeH6213 the king's counsellor? Forbear; whyH4100 shouldest thou beH1961 smitten? Then the prophetH5030 forbore, and saidH559, I knowH3045 that 4GodH430 has determined to destroyH7843 thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened to my counselH6098.

17And AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 took counselH3289, and sentH7971 to JoashH3101 the sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059, the sonH1121 of JehuH3058, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, ComeH1980, let us lookH7200 one another in the faceH6440.

18And JoashH3101 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 to AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, The thorn-bush that is in LebanonH3844 sentH7971 to the cedarH730 that is in LebanonH3844, sayingH559, GiveH5414 thy daughterH1323 to my sonH1121 as wifeH802; and there passedH5674 by the wild beast that is in LebanonH3844, and trode down the thorn-bush.

19Thou thinkest, Lo, thou hast smitten EdomH123; and thy heartH3820 has liftedH5375 thee up to boast: abide nowH6258 at home; whyH4100 shouldest thou contend with misfortune, that thou shouldest fallH5307, thou and JudahH3063 with thee?

20But AmaziahH558 would not hearH8085; for it was of 5GodH430, that he might deliver them into [the enemy's] handH3027, because they had soughtH1875 after the 6godsH430 of EdomH123.

21And JoashH3101 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 wentH5927 up; and they lookedH7200 one another in the faceH6440, he and AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, at Beth-shemeshH1053, which is in JudahH3063.

22And JudahH3063 was routed before IsraelH3478; and they fledH5127 every manH376 to his tentH168.

23And JoashH3101 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 took AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 the sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059, at Beth-shemeshH1053, and broughtH935 him to JerusalemH3389, and he brokeH6555 down the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389 from the gateH8179 of EphraimH669 to the corner gateH8179, fourH702 hundredH3967 cubitsH520.
