La Biblia Reina-Valera Gomez
Mas los del escuadrón que Amasías había despedido, para que no fuesen con él a la guerra, acometieron las ciudades de Judá, desde Samaria hasta Bet-horón, y mataron a tres mil de ellos, y tomaron gran despojo.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

soldiers of the army: Heb. sons of the band, 2 Chronicles 25:9

fell upon the cities: These Israelites seem to have returned home, when discharged by Amaziah, whose powerful army deterred them from attempting revenge at that time; but when he was engaged in war with the Edomites, they marched from Samaria, and plundered all the cities till they came to Beth-horon, where they slew 3,000 of the inhabitants.

Samaria: 1 Kings 16:24, 1 Kings 16:29

Bethhoron: 2 Chronicles 8:5, 1 Kings 9:17

Reciprocal: Judges 20:48 - smote them 1 Kings 13:32 - in the cities 2 Chronicles 25:8 - army 2 Chronicles 25:17 - Amaziah

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But the soldiers of the army which Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, e.] The 100,000 men hired out of Israel, whom he dismissed before he went against Edom:

fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Bethhoron which, though it formerly belonged to Ephraim, had been taken by the men of Judah; they did not fall on these as they returned home, for then it would have been said from Bethhoron to Samaria: but after they had returned home, they meditated this piece of revenge for the ill treatment of them, as they reckoned it:

and smote three thousand of them; of the inhabitants of the cities, who rose up and opposed them:

and took much spoil; out of them, and went their way with it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

To revenge the insult 2 Chronicles 25:10, the troops of Joash proceeded southward and ravaged all the Jewish towns and villages between the Israelite frontier and Bethboron. This invasion probably took place while Amaziah was still in Edom.
