CHAPTER STUDY WORKSPACE

2 Chronicles 25

Amaziah begins by doing what is right, but not with a perfect heart. He hires one hundred thousand warriors from Israel, then obeys a man of God who tells him not to use them, trusting that God can give far more than the lost wages. Judah defeats Edom, but Amaziah then brings home Edomite gods and worships them. After rejecting prophetic rebuke, he proudly challenges Joash of Israel, suffers a humiliating defeat, and later dies by conspiracy.
