Context of 2 Chronicles 25:12
10Then Amaziah dismissed the troops that had come to him from Ephraim. But they became furious with Judah and returned home. 11Amaziah courageously led his troops. When he came to the Dead Sea region, he killed 10,000 men from Seir. The Judeans captured another 10,000 alive, took them to the top of a cliff, and threw them off the top of the cliff so that they were dismembered. 13The troops that Amaziah sent back so that they couldn’t go with him into battle raided the towns in Judah from Samaria to Beth Horon. They killed 3,000 people and took a lot of goods. 14After Amaziah came back from defeating the Edomites, he brought the gods of the people of Seir, set them up as his gods, bowed down to them, and burned sacrifices to them.
