Contextual Overview
1 Amatzyahu was twenty-five years old when he began his reign, and he ruled for twenty-nine years in Yerushalayim. His mother's name was Y'ho‘adan, from Yerushalayim. 2 He did what was right from Adonai 's perspective, but not wholeheartedly. 3 As soon as he had the kingdom firmly in his control, he put to death the servants of his who had assassinated the king his father. 4 But he did not put their children to death; rather, he acted according to what is written in the Torah, in the scroll of Moshe, as Adonai ordered when he said, "Fathers are not to die for the children, nor are the children to die for the fathers; every person will die for his own sin." 5 Amatzyahu assembled Y'hudah together and put them in order by clans under captains of thousands and captains of hundreds — all Y'hudah and Binyamin. He registered everyone twenty years old and older, and found that there were 300,000 select troops able to go to war, capable of using spears and shields. 6 He also hired 100,000 strong, brave men from Isra'el for three-and-a-third tons of silver. 7 But a man of God came to him and said, "King, don't let the army of Isra'el go with you; because Adonai is not with Isra'el or with any of the people of Efrayim. 8 And if you do go, then no matter how fiercely you fight, God will cause you to fail before the enemy. For God has the power to help and to cause failure." 9 Amatzyahu said to the man of God, "But what do we do about the three-and-a-third tons [of silver] I paid for Isra'el's army?" The man of God answered, " Adonai can give you far more than that!" 10 Then Amatzyahu separated out the battalion that had come to him from Efrayim and told them to go back home — which made their anger burn hotly against Y'hudah, and they returned home enraged.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then Amaziah separated them,.... From his army, among whom they were incorporated and ranked, to wit,
the army that was come to him out of Ephraim; which he had hired of the ten tribes, these he singled out:
to go home again; to their own country:
wherefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in great anger; it being a great slight put upon them, and a reproach to them, to be thus dismissed, as they thought; and especially if they understood that it was because they were idolaters; and the rather as they might have hoped to have had their share in the plunder of the Edomites.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Such a dismissal could not fail to arouse great indignation. The Israelites would suppose themselves dismissed because their good faith was suspected. On the consequences of their indignation, see 2 Chronicles 25:13.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Chronicles 25:10. They returned home in great anger — They thought they were insulted, and began to meditate revenge. See the notes on 2 Kings 14:1-20, where almost every circumstance in this chapter is examined and explained.
