2 Chronicles 25:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ But a man of God came to him. He said, “Your Majesty, these troops from Israel must not march out with you. The Lord is not with Israel. He isn’t with any of the people of Ephraim. ⁸ Go and fight bravely in battle if you want to. But God will destroy you right in front of your enemies. God has the power to help you or destroy you.”

⁹ Amaziah asked the man of God, “But what about all that silver I paid for these Israelite troops?”

The man of God replied, “The Lord can give you much more than that.”
