Context Readings

Amaziah's Campaign Against Edom

13 The troops that Amaziah sent back so that they couldn't go with him into battle raided the towns in Judah from Samaria to Beth Horon. They killed three thousand people and took a lot of goods. 14 Now after Amaziah came from slaughtering the Edomites, he brought the gods of the sons of Seir, set them up as his gods, bowed down before them and burned incense to them. 15 Jehovah became angry with Amaziah. He sent him a prophet who asked: Why do you dedicate your life to serving the gods of those people? Those gods could not save their own people from you!
