2 Chronicles 25:11-23

11Now AmaziahH558 gatheredH2388 his courageH2388 and ledH5090 his peopleH5971 outH5090, and wentH1980 to 1the ValleyH1516 of SaltH4417, and struckH5221 andH5221 killedH5221 tenH6235 thousandH505 of the sonsH1121 of SeirH8165. 12The sonsH1121 of JudahH3063 also capturedH7617 tenH6235 thousandH505 aliveH2416 and broughtH935 them to the topH7218 of the cliffH5553, and threwH7993 them downH7993 from the topH7218 of the cliffH5553 so that they were allH3605 dashedH1234 toH1234 piecesH1234. 13But the 2troopsH1121H1416 whomH834 AmaziahH558 sentH7725 backH7725, those not goingH1980 with him to battleH4421, raidedH6584 the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 from SamariaH8111 to Beth-horonH1032, and struckH5221 andH5221 killedH5221 threeH7969 thousandH505 of them, and plunderedH962 a largeH7227 amountH7227 of spoilsH961.

14Now afterH310 AmaziahH558 cameH1961 from slaughteringH5221 the EdomitesH130, 3he broughtH935 the godsH430 of the sonsH1121 of SeirH8165 and setH5975 them up as his godsH430. Then he bowedH2331 downH2331 beforeH6440 them and burnedH6999 incenseH6999 to them. 15So the angerH639 of the LordH3068 burnedH2734 against AmaziahH558, and He sentH7971 him a prophetH5030 who saidH559 to him, “WhyH4100 have you soughtH1875 the godsH430 of the peopleH5971 4whoH834 have not savedH5337 their own peopleH5971 from your handH3027?” 16As he was talkingH1696 with him, 5the king saidH559 to him, “Have we appointedH5414 you to be a royalH4428 counselorH3289? StopH2308! WhyH4100 should 6you be putH5221 toH5221 deathH5221?” Then the prophetH5030 stoppedH2308 and saidH559, “I knowH3045 that GodH430 has plannedH3289 to destroyH7843 you, becauseH3588 you have doneH6213 thisH2088 and have not listenedH8085 to my counselH6098.”

177Then AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 tookH3289 counselH3289 and sentH7971 word to JoashH3060 the sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059 the sonH1121 of JehuH3058, the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, “ComeH1980, let’s faceH7200H6440 each other.” 18But JoashH3060 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 a reply to AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, “8The thornH2336 bushH2336 that was in LebanonH3844 sentH7971 word to the cedarH730 that was in LebanonH3844, sayingH559, ‘GiveH5414 your daughterH1323 to my sonH1121 in marriageH802.’ But a wildH7704 beastH2421 that was in LebanonH3844 passedH5674 byH5674 and trampledH7429 the thornH2336 bushH2336. 19You saidH559, ‘BeholdH2009, you have 9defeatedH5221 EdomH112.’ And 10your heartH3820 has liftedH5375 you upH5375 in boastingH3513. NowH6258 stayH3427 homeH1004; whyH4100 should you provokeH1624 troubleH7463 so that you, would fallH5307, you and JudahH3063 with you?”

20But AmaziahH558 would not listenH8085, for it was from GodH430, so that He might handH5414H3027 them overH5414 to Joash, becauseH3588 they had soughtH1875 the godsH430 of EdomH112. 21So JoashH3060 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 wentH5927 upH5927, and he and AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 facedH7200H6440 each other at Beth-shemeshH1053, whichH834 belonged to JudahH3063. 22And JudahH3063 was defeatedH5062 11by IsraelH3478, and they fledH5127, everyH376 manH376 to his tentH168. 23Then JoashH3060 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 capturedH8610 AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, the sonH1121 of JoashH3060 the sonH1121 of 12JehoahazH3059, at Beth-shemeshH1053, and broughtH935 him to JerusalemH3389 and toreH6555 downH6555 the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389 from the GateH8179 of EphraimH669 to the CornerH6438 GateH8179, 13fourH702 hundredH3967 cubitsH520.
