Amaziah’s Victories

Amaziah’s Victories

5Then Amaziah gathered [the people of] Judah and assigned them according to their families to commanders of thousands [and] of hundreds. And he numbered those twenty years of age or older throughout Judah and Benjamin and found 300,000 chosen [men] [able] to serve in the army, bearing the spear and shield.

6He also hired 100,000 mighty men of valor from Israel for a hundred talents of silver.[fn] 7But a man of God came to him and said, “O king, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for the LORD is not with Israel—[not with] any of the Ephraimites 8Even if you go and fight bravely in battle, God will overthrow you before the enemy, for God has power to help and [power] to overthrow.”

9Amaziah asked the man of God, “What should I do about the hundred talents I have given to the troops of Israel?” And the man of God replied, “The LORD is able to give you much more than this.”

10So Amaziah dismissed the troops who had come to him from Ephraim and sent them home. And they were furious with Judah and returned home in great anger.

11Amaziah, however, summoned his strength and led his troops to the Valley of Salt, where he struck down 10,000 men of Seir, 12and the army of Judah also captured 10,000 [men] alive. They took them to the top of a cliff and threw them down so that all were dashed to pieces.

13Meanwhile the troops that Amaziah had dismissed from battle raided the cities of Judah, from Samaria to Beth-horon. They struck down 3,000 [people] and carried off a great deal of plunder.


25:6 100 talents is approximately 3.77 tons or 3.42 metric tons of silver; also in verse 9.
