2 Chronicles 25:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶ He also paid 3,500 kilograms of silver for 100,000 soldiers from Israel to join his army.

⁷ But a prophet went to meet Amaziah and he said, ‘Please sir, do not take these soldiers from Israel to go and fight beside your own soldiers. The Lord has turned away from the tribe of Ephraim and all of Israel. ⁸ The Lord will allow your enemies to win against you, even if you fight very well. God has the power to help you, but he can also cause your enemies to win against you.’
