2 Chronicles 25:15-17
GOD’S WORD Translation
15 The Lord became angry with Amaziah. He sent him a prophet who asked him, “Why do you dedicate your life to serving the gods of those people? Those gods couldn’t save their own people from you.”
16 As he was talking, the king asked him, “Did we make you an adviser to the king? Stop! Do you want me to have you killed?”
The prophet stopped. He said, “I know that God has decided to destroy you because you did this, but you refuse to listen to my advice.”
17 After getting advice ⌞from his advisers⌟, King Amaziah of Judah sent messengers to King Jehoash,[a] son of Jehoahaz and grandson of Jehu of Israel, to declare war on Israel.
