Contextual Overview
1 Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king. And he ruled for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem. 2 Amaziah did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, but not with a whole heart. 3 As soon as the nation was under his rule, he killed his servants who had killed his father the king. 4 But he did not kill their children. He did what is written in the Law in the book of Moses. The Lord had said in this Law, "Fathers must not be put to death for the children. And children must not be put to death for the fathers. Each must be put to death for his own sin." 5 Then Amaziah gathered the men of Judah together. He put them, by their fathers' houses, under the rule of captains of thousands and of hundreds for all Judah and Benjamin. He numbered those who were twenty years old and older. And he found that they were 300,000 chosen men, able to go to war and fight with spear and battle-covering. 6 He also asked for the help of 100,000 powerful soldiers from Israel and paid them with silver weighing as much as 100 men. 7 But a man of God came to him and said, "O king, do not let the army of Israel go with you. For the Lord is not with Israel. He is not with all these sons of Ephraim. 8 But if you think that in this way you will be strong in war, God will destroy you in front of those who fight you. For God has power to help and to destroy." 9 Amaziah said to the man of God, "But what should I do about the silver weighing as much as 100 men, which I have given to the army of Israel?" The man of God answered, "The Lord has much more to give you than this." 10 Then Amaziah sent the army home which had come to him from Ephraim. These hired soldiers were angry at the people of Judah. As they returned home they were very angry.
