2 Chronicles 25:5-16

5Moreover AmaziahH558 gatheredH6908 JudahH3063 togetherH6908, and madeH5975 them captainsH8269 over thousandsH505, and captainsH8269 over hundredsH3967, according to the housesH1004 of their fathersH1, throughout all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144: and he numberedH6485 them from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and aboveH4605, and foundH4672 them threeH7969 hundredH3967 thousandH505 choiceH977 men, able to go forthH3318 to warH6635, that could handleH270 spearH7420 and shieldH6793. 6He hiredH7936 also an hundredH3967 thousandH505 mightyH1368 men of valourH2428 out of IsraelH3478 for an hundredH3967 talentsH3603 of silverH3701. 7But there cameH935 a manH376 of GodH430 to him, sayingH559, O kingH4428, let not the armyH6635 of IsraelH3478 goH935 with thee; for YhwhH3068 is not with IsraelH3478, to wit, with all the childrenH1121 of EphraimH669. 8But if thou wilt goH935, doH6213 it, be strongH2388 for the battleH4421: GodH430 shall make thee fallH3782 beforeH6440 the enemyH341: for GodH430 hathH3426 powerH3581 to helpH5826, and to cast downH3782. 9And AmaziahH558 saidH559 to the manH376 of GodH430, But what shall we doH6213 for the hundredH3967 talentsH3603 which I have givenH5414 to the armyH1416 of IsraelH3478? And the manH376 of GodH430 answeredH559, YhwhH3068 isH3426 able to giveH5414 thee much moreH7235 than this.1 10Then AmaziahH558 separatedH914 them, to wit, the armyH1416 that was comeH935 to him out of EphraimH669, to goH3212 homeH4725 againH3212: wherefore their angerH639 was greatlyH3966 kindledH2734 against JudahH3063, and they returnedH7725 homeH4725 in greatH2750 angerH639.23

11And AmaziahH558 strengthenedH2388 himself, and led forthH5090 his peopleH5971, and wentH3212 to the valleyH1516 of saltH4417, and smoteH5221 of the childrenH1121 of SeirH8165 tenH6235 thousandH505. 12And other tenH6235 thousandH505 left aliveH2416 did the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 carry away captiveH7617, and broughtH935 them unto the topH7218 of the rockH5553, and cast them downH7993 from the topH7218 of the rockH5553, that they all were broken in piecesH1234.

13But the soldiersH1121 of the armyH1416 which AmaziahH558 sent backH7725, that they should not goH3212 with him to battleH4421, fellH6584 upon the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, from SamariaH8111 even unto Beth–horonH1032, and smoteH5221 threeH7969 thousandH505 of them, and tookH962 muchH7227 spoilH961.4

14Now it came to pass, afterH310 that AmaziahH558 was comeH935 from the slaughterH5221 of the EdomitesH130, that he broughtH935 the godsH430 of the childrenH1121 of SeirH8165, and set them upH5975 to be his godsH430, and bowed downH7812 himself beforeH6440 them, and burned incenseH6999 unto them. 15Wherefore the angerH639 of YhwhH3068 was kindledH2734 against AmaziahH558, and he sentH7971 unto him a prophetH5030, which saidH559 unto him, Why hast thou soughtH1875 after the godsH430 of the peopleH5971, which could not deliverH5337 their own peopleH5971 out of thine handH3027? 16And it came to pass, as he talkedH1696 with him, that the king saidH559 unto him, Art thou madeH5414 of the king’sH4428 counselH3289? forbearH2308; why shouldest thou be smittenH5221? Then the prophetH5030 forbareH2308, and saidH559, I knowH3045 that GodH430 hath determinedH3289 to destroyH7843 thee, because thou hast doneH6213 this, and hast not hearkenedH8085 unto my counselH6098.5
