2 Chronicles 25:15-17

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁵ The Lord was angry with Amaziah, so he sent a prophet to him, who said to him, “Why are you seeking the gods of another people, gods who did not deliver their own people from your hand?”

¹⁶ But while he was speaking to him, the king said to him, “Have we made you an advisor to the king? Stop! Why should you be struck down?”

So the prophet stopped, but he said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you because you have done this, and you have not listened to my advice.”

Israel Defeats Judah

¹⁷ After consulting with his advisors, Amaziah king of Judah sent a challenge to Joash son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel: “Come. We will confront each other face-to-face.”
