2 Crónicas 25:15-16

15 Esto hizo enojar mucho al Señor
, quien le envió un profeta para que le preguntara:
—¿Por qué acudes a dioses que ni siquiera pudieron salvar a su propio pueblo de tu mano?

16 Pero el rey lo interrumpió y le dijo:
—¿Desde cuándo te nombré consejero del rey? ¡Cállate antes de que te mande matar!
El profeta no insistió más pero hizo esta advertencia:
—Yo sé que Dios ha decidido destruirte porque has hecho esto y te negaste a aceptar mi consejo.

INTRODUCTION TO 2 CHRONICLES 25

This chapter begins with the reign of Amaziah, and some of the first acts of it, slaying those that killed his father, 2Ch 25:1-4, raising a large army in his own kingdom, to which he added 100,000 more he hired out of Israel, whom yet he sent home by the advice of a prophet, 2Ch 25:5-10, and with his own army marched against the Edomites, and obtained a victory over them, 2Ch 25:11,12, but the Israelites being displeased with him for dismissing them, fell on some of his cities, and slew many in them, 2Ch 25:13, and such was his stupidity, as to worship the gods of the Edomites he had conquered, for which he was reproved by a prophet, 2Ch 25:14-16 and being elated with his victory, he sent a challenge to the king of Israel, who accepting of it, a battle ensued, in which Judah was worsted, their king taken, and treasuries spoiled, 2Ch 25:17-24, and the chapter is closed with the death and burial of Amaziah, 2Ch 25:25-28.
