But the soldiers of the army which Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Bethhoron, and smote three thousand of them, and took much spoil.

Verse 13 is found in chapter 25 of 2 Chronicles. Amaziah organizes his army and hires mercenaries from the north, but a prophet orders him not to take them to war because God is not with Israel. The king obeys and gains victory with his own men. The financial loss from dismissing the mercenaries also illustrates the practical cost of obedience when an investment has already been made.

Aber die Kriegsknechte, die Amazja hatte wiederum lassen ziehen, daß sie nicht mit seinem Volk zum Streit zögen, fielen ein in die Städte Juda's, von Samaria an bis gen Beth-Horon, und schlugen ihrer dreitausend und nahmen viel Raub.
Empero los del escuadrón que Amasías había despedido, porque no fuesen con él a la guerra, derramáronse sobre las ciudades de Judá, desde Samaria hasta Beth-oron, e hirieron de ellos tres mil, y tomaron un grande despojo.
Cependant, les gens de la troupe qu'Amatsia avait renvoyés pour qu'ils n'allassent pas à la guerre avec lui firent une invasion dans les villes de Juda depuis Samarie jusqu'à Beth-Horon, y tuèrent trois mille personnes, et enlevèrent de nombreuses dépouilles.
Ma le schiere che Amasia avea rimandate, acciocchè non andassero con lui alla guerra, scorsero sopra le città di Giuda, da Samaria, fino in Bet-horon; e percossero tremila uomini di quella, e fecero una gran preda
Porém os homens das tropas que Amazias despedira, para que não fossem com ele à peleja, deram sobre as cidades de Judá desde Samaria, até Bete-Horom; e feriram deles três mil, e saquearam grande despojo.
