14:025:014 Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was come from the
           slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the
           children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed
           down himself before them, and burned incense unto them.

14:025:015 Wherefore the anger of the lord was kindled against Amaziah,
           and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why hast
           thou sought after the gods of the people, which could not
           deliver their own people out of thine hand?

14:025:016 And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said
           unto him, Art thou made of the king’s counsel? forbear; why
           shouldest thou be smitten?  Then the prophet forbare, and said,
           I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou
           hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel.

14:025:017 Then Amaziah king of Judah took advice, and sent to Joash, the
           son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying,
           Come, let us see one another in the face.

14:025:018 And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah,
           saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that
           was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: 
           and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and
           trode down the thistle.

14:025:019 Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten the Edomites; and thine
           heart lifteth thee up to boast:  abide now at home; why
           shouldest thou meddle to thine hurt, that thou shouldest fall,
           even thou, and Judah with thee?

14:025:020 But Amaziah would not hear; for it came of God, that he might
           deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they
           sought after the gods of Edom.

14:025:021 So Joash the king of Israel went up; and they saw one another
           in the face, both he and Amaziah king of Judah, at
           Bethshemesh, which belongeth to Judah.

14:025:022 And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled
           every man to his tent.

14:025:023 And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the
           son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Bethshemesh, and brought
           him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from
           the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.

14:025:024 And he took all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels
           that were found in the house of God with Obededom, and the
           treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned
           to Samaria.

14:025:025 And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the
           death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.
