Contextual Overview

¹⁷ Then Amaziah king of Judah took counsel, and sent unto Joash, son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu king of Israel, saying, - Come, let us look one another in the face! ¹⁸ And Joash king of Israel sent unto Amaziah king of Judah, saying, A thistle that was in Lebanon, sent unto a cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Come! give thy daughter unto my son to wife, - but there passed by a beast of the field that was in Lebanon, and trampled down the thistle. ¹⁹ Thou hast said-Lo! thou hast smitten the Edomites, and thy heart hath lifted thee up to display honour,-Now, abide in thine own house, wherefore shouldst thou engage in strife with Misfortune, and fall, thou and Judah with thee? ²⁰ But Amaziah hearkened not, because, from God, it was, to the end he might deliver them up into their enemies' hand, - because they had sought the gods of Edom. ²¹ So Joash king of Israel came up, and they looked one another in the face, he, and Amaziah king of Judah, - in Beth-shemesh, which belongeth unto Judah. ²² Then was Judah defeated, before Israel, - and they fled every man to his own home; ²³ and, Amaziah king of Judah, son of Joash son of Jehoahaz, was taken by Joash king of Israel, in Beth-shemesh, - and he brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, from the gate of Ephraim as far as the corner-gate, four hundred cubits; ²⁴ and, all the gold and the silver and all the utensils that were found in the house of God with Obed-edom, and the treasures of the house of the king, and hostages, he took,-and returned to Samaria. ²⁵ And Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah lived, after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel, - fifteen years. ²⁶ Now, the rest of the story of Amaziah, first and last, lo! it is written in the book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

they saw one another: That is, "they fought against each other." To face an enemy, or to face one another, is still a common expression. The reason of this war was evidently the injury the army of Joash had done to the unoffending inhabitants of Judah. The ravages committed by them were totally unprovoked, base, and cowardly: they fell upon women, old men, and children, and butchered them in cold blood, when all the effective men were gone with their king against the Edomites. The quarrel of Amaziah were certainly just, yet he was put to the rout: he fell, and Judah with him, as Joash had said; and the reason was, because "it came of God, that he might deliver them into the hands of their enemies, because they sought after the gods of Edom." This was the reason why the Israelites triumphed. 2 Chronicles 25:17
