2 Crónicas 25:7-10

7 Entonces un hombre de Dios se presentó ante él y le dijo:
—Su Majestad, no contrate tropas de Israel porque el Señor
no está con Israel. ¡Él no ayudará a esa gente de Efraín!

8 Si usted permite que ellos vayan a la batalla junto con sus tropas, ustedes serán derrotados por el enemigo sin importar qué tan bien peleen. Dios los derribará, porque él tiene el poder para ayudarlos o para hacerlos tropezar.

9 Amasías le preguntó al hombre de Dios:
—¿Pero qué de toda esa plata que pagué para contratar al ejército de Israel?
El hombre de Dios contestó:
—¡El Señor
puede darle a usted mucho más que eso!

10 Así que Amasías dio de baja a las tropas que había contratado y las envió de regreso a Efraín. En consecuencia se enojaron con Judá y regresaron enfurecidos a sus casas.

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.
