he brought: 2 Chronicles 28:23, Isaiah 44:19

his gods: Exodus 20:3-5, Deuteronomy 7:5, Deuteronomy 7:25, 2 Samuel 5:21

Reciprocal: Exodus 20:5 - bow down 2 Kings 14:3 - he did according 1 Chronicles 5:25 - after the gods 2 Chronicles 25:2 - but not 2 Chronicles 25:20 - sought Isaiah 44:15 - he maketh a god

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites,.... Instead of returning thanks to God for the victory obtained, and giving him the glory of it:

that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods; what were the gods of the Edomites is nowhere said in Scripture; only Josephus l speaks of the priests of Coze, which he says was a god of the Idumaeans:

and bowed himself before them, and burned incense unto them; which was the greatest piece of sottishhess and stupidity imaginable, to worship the gods of a nation conquered by him; for since they could not save them, what help could he expect from them?

l Antiqu. l. l5. c. 7. sect. 9.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The practice of carrying off the images of the gods from a conquered country, or city, as trophies of victory, was common among the nations of the East. Sometimes as with the Romans, the object was worship, especially when the gods were previously among those of the conquering country, and the images had the reputation of special sanctity.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Chronicles 25:14. The gods of the children of Seir — "The idols of the children of Gebal." - Targum.
