from Samaria to the land of Judah, which was higher ground:

and he and Amaziah looked one another in the face;
in the field of battle:

at Bethshemesh,
which belongeth to Judah; which is observed, not merely to distinguish it from another Bethshemesh in Naphtali, but to observe, that the king of Israel waited not for him to give him the challenge, but met his adversary in his own country, whither he carried the war, not suffering him to come into his.
