In context
11Amaziah took courage, led his people out, and marched to the Valley of Salt, where he struck down ten thousand of the men of Seir. 12The men of Judah also took ten thousand alive; they brought them to the top of the crag and threw them down from the top of the crag, and every one of them was broken apart. 13Meanwhile the men of the troop that Amaziah had sent back from marching with him to battle raided the cities of Judah from Samaria as far as Beth-horon; they struck down three thousand of them and carried off a great deal of plunder. 14When Amaziah came back from defeating the Edomites, he brought with him the gods of the men of Seir. He set them up as gods of his own, bowed down before them and burned incense to them. 15The anger of Yahweh blazed against Amaziah, and he sent a prophet to him, who said, “Why have you sought out the gods of a people who could not rescue their own people from your hand?”
