The man of God aunswered: The Lorde is able to geue thee much more then they be. 10 And Amaziahu separated them, [to wit] the armie that was come to him out of Ephraim, to go home againe: Wherefore they were exceeding wroth with Iuda, & returned home in great anger.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But there came a man of God to him,.... Who the Jews say f was the brother of the king, Amos, the father of Isaiah, but without foundation:
saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; to war against Edom; meaning the 100,000 men he had hired, and suggesting that to have them with him would not be to his advantage, but his detriment, for the following reason:
for the Lord is not with Israel, to wit,
with all the children of Ephraim; they being idolaters, worshippers of the calves; and as they had forsaken the Lord, he had forsaken them; therefore no help could be expected from them; the Targum is,
"the Word of the Lord is not their help.''
f Seder Olam Rabba, c. 20. Shalshalet Hakabala, fol. 11. 2.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Chronicles 25:7. The Lord is not with Israel — "The WORD of the Lord is not the helper of the Israelites, nor of the kingdom of the tribe of Ephraim." - Targum.
