2 Chronicles
2 Chronicles 25:7–10
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.
