2 Chronicles 25:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ Amaziah also hired one hundred thousand skilled soldiers from Israel for ·about seventy-five hundred pounds [^Lone hundred talents] of silver. ⁷ But a man of God [^Cprophet] came to Amaziah and said, “My king, don’t let the army of Israel go with you. The Lord is not with Israel or any of the people from the tribe of Ephraim. ⁸ You can ·make yourself strong for war [fight bravely/well], but God will ·defeat you [^Lcause you to stumble before the enemy]. He has the power to help you or to ·defeat you [^Lcause you to stumble].”
