Judah was thoroughly beaten by Israel—all the soldiers straggled home in defeat.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Ver. 20-28. But Amaziah would not hear,.... What the king of Israel advised him to, not to meddle to his hurt;
for it came of God, that he might deliver them into the hand [of their enemies]; Amaziah and his army into the hands of Joash and his; this was the will of God, and was brought about by his providence; and that it might be, Amaziah was given up to blindness and hardness of heart, as a punishment of his idolatry:
because they sought after the gods of Edom; he and his nobles, and many of the people following his example; from hence to the end of the chapter the same things are recorded as in 2 Kings 14:11, see the notes there, 2 Kings 14:11- : 2 Kings 14:11- : 2 Kings 14:11- : 2 Kings 14:11- : 2 Kings 14:11- : 2 Kings 14:11- : 2 Kings 14:11- : 2 Kings 14:11- : 2 Kings 14:11- : 2 Kings 14:11- :
