Amaziah Rebuked for Idolatry

14 Now after Amaziah came from slaughtering the Edomites, (A)he brought the gods of the sons of Seir and set them up as his gods. Then he bowed down before them and burned incense to them. 15 So the anger of the Lord burned against Amaziah, and He sent him a prophet who said to him, “Why have you sought the gods of the people (B)who have not saved their own people from your hand?” 16 As he was talking with him, [a]the king said to him, “Have we appointed you to be a royal counselor? Stop! Why should [b]you be put to death?” Then the prophet stopped and said, “I know that God has planned to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel.”
