# 2 Chronicles

## Chapter 25

Introduction Chapters 1 to 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Chapters 10 to 12 Chapters 13 to 16 Chapters 17 to 18 Chapters 19 and 20 Chapter 21 Chapter 22 Chapter 23 Chapter 24 Chapter 25 Chapter 26 Chapter 27 Chapter 28 Chapters 29 and 30 Chapter 31 Chapter 32 Chapter 33 Chapters 34 and 35 Chapter 36 | #### Amaziah and the two prophets: his presentation and fall Amaziah, up to a certain point, walks with God, but in weakness and with an unsteady step. He leans upon an arm of flesh: but he hearkens to the prophet, and this saves him from being defeated. The cities of Judah, however, suffer the consequences of his false step, and are plundered by the army of Israel, which Amaziah had sent back. Lifted up by the victory that he had obtained over Edom, he takes the gods of Seir which could not deliver their own people, and bows himself down before them. He then turns a deaf ear to the prophet who rebukes him. But pride goes before confusion, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Amaziah, making war against Israel, is ignominiously defeated and made prisoner, and Jerusalem itself is laid waste. We should remark in this part of the history the goodness of the Lord, who continually interposes by means of prophets. |
