But Amaziah would not hear; for it came of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they sought after the gods of Edom.

Verse 20 is found in chapter 25 of 2 Chronicles. Amaziah provokes a confrontation with Joash of Israel and is defeated. Jerusalem is plundered, and part of the temple treasures are taken to Samaria. The military failure follows the king’s idolatry and pride, illustrating Chronicles’ characteristic pattern between unfaithfulness and national weakening.

Aber Amazja gehorchte nicht; denn es geschah von Gott, daß sie dahingegeben würden, darum daß sie die Götter der Edomiter gesucht hatten.
Mas Amasías no quiso oír; porque estaba de Dios, que los quería entregar en manos de sus enemigos, por cuanto habían buscado los dioses de Edom.
Mais Amatsia ne l'écouta pas, car Dieu avait résolu de les livrer entre les mains de l'ennemi, parce qu'ils avaient recherché les dieux d'Edom.
Ma Amasia non gli diè d’orecchio; perciocchè quella cosa procedeva da Dio, per dar que’ di Giuda in mano de’ lor nemici; perciocchè aveano ricercati gl’iddii di Edom.
Porém Amazias não lhe deu ouvidos, porque isto vinha de Deus, para entregá-los na mão dos seus inimigos; porquanto buscaram os deuses dos edomitas.
亞瑪謝 卻不肯聽從。這是出乎上帝,好將他們交在敵人手裏,因為他們尋求 以東 的神明。
