14 Now it came to pass, after H310 that Amaziah H558 was come H935 from the slaughter H5221 of the Edomites, H130 that he brought H935 the gods H430 of the children H1121 of Seir, H8165 and set them up H5975 to be his gods, H430 and bowed down H7812 himself before H6440 them, and burned incense H6999 unto them.
15 Wherefore the anger H639 of the LORD H3068 was kindled H2734 against Amaziah, H558 and he sent H7971 unto him a prophet, H5030 which said H559 unto him, Why hast thou sought H1875 after the gods H430 of the people, H5971 which could not deliver H5337 their own people H5971 out of thine hand? H3027
16 And it came to pass, as he talked H1696 with him, that the king said H559 unto him, Art thou made H5414 of the king's H4428 counsel? H3289 forbear; H2308 why shouldest thou be smitten? H5221 Then the prophet H5030 forbare, H2308 and said, H559 I know H3045 that God H430 hath determined H3289 to destroy H7843 thee, because thou hast done H6213 this, and hast not hearkened H8085 unto my counsel.
