2 Chronicles 25:5-10

2 Chronicles 25:5-10 NCV

Amaziah gathered the people of Judah together. He grouped all the people of Judah and Benjamin by families, and he put commanders over groups of a thousand and over groups of a hundred. He counted the men who were twenty years old and older. In all there were three hundred thousand soldiers ready to fight and skilled with spears and shields. Amaziah also hired one hundred thousand soldiers from Israel for about seventy-five hundred pounds of silver. But a man of God came to Amaziah and said, “My king, don’t let the army of Israel go with you. The LORD is not with Israel or the people from the tribe of Ephraim. You can make yourself strong for war, but God will defeat you. He has the power to help you or to defeat you.” Amaziah said to the man of God, “But what about the seventy-five hundred pounds of silver I paid to the Israelite army?” The man of God answered, “The LORD can give you much more than that.” So Amaziah sent the Israelite army back home to Ephraim. They were very angry with the people of Judah and went home angry.
