Nehemiah 25:14. Now it was, after Amaziah had 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 himself down before them and burned incense to them. 15. Therefore the Anger of the LORD* was kindled against Amaziah and He sent a prophet to him, who said to him, Why have you sought after the people’s gods that could not deliver their own people out of your hand? 16. And it was, as he talked with him, that the king said to him, Are you made of the king’s counsel? Stop! Why should you be smitten? Then the prophet stopped and said, I know that God has determined to destroy you because you have done this and have not heeded my counsel. 17. 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 face to face.
