2 Chronicles 25:5-7

International Standard Version

The Edomites are Defeated^(A)

⁵ Amaziah gathered Judah together and organized them according to their ancestral households under commanders of thousands and hundreds throughout Judah and Benjamin. He then mustered an army from those who were 20 years old and older. He discovered that there were 300,000 elite soldiers qualified for war duty and capable of handling spears and shields. ⁶ He also hired 100,000 elite forces from Israel, paying 100 talents^[a] of silver for their services.

⁷ A man came from God and warned him, “Your majesty, don’t let the army of Israel accompany you into battle, because the Lord isn’t with any of the descendants of Ephraim.
