2 Chronicles 25:13-15
New King James Version
13 But as for the soldiers of the army which Amaziah had discharged, so that they would not go with him to battle, they raided the cities of Judah from Samaria to Beth Horon, killed three thousand in them, and took much [a]spoil.
14 Now it was so, after Amaziah came from the slaughter of the Edomites, that (A)he brought the gods of the people of Seir, set them up to be (B)his gods, and bowed down before them and burned incense to them. 15 Therefore the anger of the Lord was aroused against Amaziah, and He sent him a prophet who said to him, “Why have you sought (C)the gods of the people, which (D)could not rescue their own people from your hand?”

Amaziah's Idolatry
14 After Amaziah came from striking down the Edomites, (B)he brought the gods (C)of the men of Seir and set them up as his gods and worshiped them, making offerings to them. 15 Therefore the Lord was angry with Amaziah and sent to him a prophet, who said to him, “Why have you sought the gods of a people (D)who did not deliver their own people from your hand?”
