Be satisfied with your fame and stay at home. Why stir up trouble that will only bring disaster on you and your people?"
11 But Amaziahrefused to listen, so King Jehoashmarched out with his men and fought against him at Beth Shemeshin Judah. 12 Amaziah’s army was defeated, and all his soldiers fled to their homes. 13 Jehoashtook Amaziahprisoner, advanced on Jerusalem, and tore down the city wall from Ephraim Gateto the Corner Gate, a distance of two hundred yards. 14 He took all the silver and gold he could find, all the Temple equipment and all the palace treasures, and carried them back to Samaria.
