2 Chronicles 25:5-13

5Moreover, Amaziah assembled Judah and appointed them according to their fathers’ households under commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds throughout Judah and Benjamin; and he 1took a census of those 2from twenty years old and upward and found them to be 3three hundred thousand choice men, able to go to war and handle spear and shield. 6He also hired a hundred thousand valiant warriors from Israel for 4a hundred talents of silver. 7But 5a man of God came to him saying, “O king, do not let the army of Israel come with you, for the Lord is not with Israel nor with any of the sons of Ephraim. 8But if you do go, do it, be strong for the battle; yet God will 6bring you down before the enemy, 7for God has the power to help and to 8bring down.” 9Amaziah said to the man of God, “But what are we to do about the 9hundred talents which I have given to the troops of Israel?” And the man of God answered, “10The Lord has much more to give you than this.” 10Then Amaziah 11dismissed the troops which came to him from Ephraim, to go home; so their anger burned against Judah, and they returned 12home in fierce anger.

11Now Amaziah gathered his courage and led his people out, and went to 13the Valley of Salt, and struck and killed ten thousand of the sons of Seir. 12The sons of Judah also captured ten thousand alive and brought them to the top of the cliff, and threw them down from the top of the cliff so that they were all dashed to pieces. 13But the 14troops whom Amaziah sent back, those not going with him to battle, raided the cities of Judah from Samaria to Beth-horon, and struck and killed three thousand of them, and plundered a large amount of spoils.
