20 But Amaziah wouldn't listen. (God made this happen because he wanted to hand over the Judeans to Jehoash because they had sought help from Edom's gods.)

2 Chronicles 25:20 Meaning and Commentary

Ver. 20-28. But Amaziah would not hear
What the king of Israel advised him to, not to meddle to his hurt;

for it came of God, that he might deliver them into the hand [of their
enemies];
Amaziah and his army into the hands of Joash and his; this was the will of God, and was brought about by his providence; and that it might be, Amaziah was given up to blindness and hardness of heart, as a punishment of his idolatry:

because they sought after the gods of Edom;
he and his nobles, and many of the people following his example; from hence to the end of the chapter the same things are recorded as in ( 2 Kings 14:11-20 ) , see the notes there, (See Gill on 2 Kings 14:11) (See Gill on 2 Kings 14:12) (See Gill on 2 Kings 14:13) (See Gill on 2 Kings 14:14) (See Gill on 2 Kings 14:15) (See Gill on 2 Kings 14:16) (See Gill on 2 Kings 14:17) (See Gill on 2 Kings 14:18) (See Gill on 2 Kings 14:19) (See Gill on 2 Kings 14:20)

2 Chronicles 25:20 In-Context

18 King Jehoash of Israel sent this message to King Amaziah of Judah: "A thistle in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon. It said, 'Let your daughter marry my son,' but a wild animal from Lebanon came along and trampled the thistle.

19 You say you defeated Edom, and now you've become arrogant enough to look for more fame. Stay home! Why must you invite disaster and your own defeat and take Judah with you?"

20 But Amaziah wouldn't listen. (God made this happen because he wanted to hand over the Judeans to Jehoash because they had sought help from Edom's gods.)

21 So King Jehoash of Israel attacked, and King Amaziah of Judah met him in battle at Beth Shemesh in Judah.

22 Israel defeated the army of Judah, and the Judeans fled to their homes.
