|
|
8. But if you will go, do valiantly, be strong for the battle: God will cast you down before the enemy; for God has power to help, and to cast down.

|
|
9. Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? The man of God answered, Yahweh is able to give you much more than this.

|
|
10. Then Amaziah separated them, to wit, the army that had come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: therefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in fierce anger.

|
|
11. Amaziah took courage, and led forth his people, and went to the Valley of Salt, and struck of the children of Seir ten thousand.

|
|
12. other ten thousand did the children of Judah carry away alive, and brought them to the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, so that they all were broken in pieces.

13. But the men of the army whom Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell on the cities of Judah, from Samaria even to Beth Horon, and struck of them three thousand, and took much spoil.
|
13. But the soldiers H1121 of the army H1416 which H834 Amaziah H558 sent back H7725 , that they should not go H4480 H1980 with H5973 him to battle H4421 , fell upon H6584 the cities H5892 of Judah H3063 , from Samaria H4480 H8111 even unto H5704 Beth H1032 -horon , and smote H5221 three H7969 thousand H505 of H4480 them , and took H962 much H7227 spoil H961 .

|
|
15. Therefore the anger of Yahweh was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent to him a prophet, who said to him, Why have you sought after the gods of the people, which have not delivered their own people out of your hand?
|
15. Wherefore the anger H639 of the LORD H3068 was kindled H2734 against Amaziah H558 , and he sent H7971 unto H413 him a prophet H5030 , which said H559 unto him, Why H4100 hast thou sought after H1875 H853 the gods H430 of the people H5971 , which H834 could not H3808 deliver H5337 H853 their own people H5971 out of thine hand H4480 H3027 ?
|
|
16. It happened, as he talked with him, that the king said to him, Have we made you of the king's counsel? Stop! Why should you be struck down? Then the prophet stopped, and said, I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this, and have not listened to my counsel.
|
16. And it came to pass H1961 , as he talked H1696 with H413 him , that the king said H559 unto him , Art thou made H5414 of the king H4428 's counsel H3289 ? forbear H2308 ; why H4100 shouldest thou be smitten H5221 ? Then the prophet H5030 forbore H2308 , and said H559 , I know H3045 that H3588 God H430 hath determined H3289 to destroy H7843 thee, because H3588 thou hast done H6213 this H2063 , and hast not H3808 hearkened H8085 unto my counsel H6098 .

|
|
19. You say, Behold, you have struck Edom; and your heart lifts you up to boast: abide now at home; why should you meddle to your hurt, that you should fall, even you, and Judah with you?
|
19. Thou sayest H559 , Lo H2009 , thou hast smitten H5221 H853 the Edomites H123 ; and thine heart H3820 lifteth thee up H5375 to boast H3513 : abide H3427 now H6258 at home H1004 ; why H4100 shouldest thou meddle H1624 to thine hurt H7451 , that thou shouldest fall H5307 , even thou H859 , and Judah H3063 with H5973 thee?
|
|
20. But Amaziah would not hear; for it was of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they had sought after the gods of Edom.
|
20. But Amaziah H558 would not H3808 hear H8085 ; for H3588 it H1931 came of God H4480 H430 , that H4616 he might deliver H5414 them into the hand H3027 of their enemies , because H3588 they sought after H1875 H853 the gods H430 of Edom H123 .
