2 Chronicles 25:14-16

Expanded Bible

¹⁴ When Amaziah came home after ·defeating [slaughtering] the Edomites, he brought back the ·idols they worshiped [^Lgods of the sons of Seir] and ·started to worship them himself [set them up as his own gods]. He bowed down to them and ·offered sacrifices [burned incense] to them. ¹⁵ The ·Lord was very angry with [^LLord’s anger burned against] Amaziah, ·so [and] he sent a prophet to him who said, “Why have you asked their gods for help? They could not even ·save [rescue; ^Tdeliver] their own people from ·you [^Lyour hand]!”

¹⁶ As the prophet spoke, Amaziah said to him, “·We never gave you the job of advising the king [^LWho made you the royal counselor?]. Stop, or you will be killed.”

The prophet stopped speaking except to say, “I know that God has ·decided [advised/counseled himself; ^Ca play on words since the king had rejected God’s counsel through the prophet] to destroy you because you have done this. You did not listen to my ·advice [counsel].”
