John Gill Commentary 2 Chronicles 25:20

"But Amaziah would not hear; for it was of God, that he might deliver them into the hand [of their enemies], because they had sought after the gods of Edom." — 2 Chronicles 25:20 (ASV)

Ver. 20-28. But Amaziah would not hear What the king of Israel advised him to, not to meddle to his hurt;

for it came of God, that he might deliver them into the hand [of their enemies] ; Amaziah and his army into the hands of Joash and his; this was the will of God, and was brought about by his providence; and that it might be, Amaziah was given up to blindness and hardness of heart, as a punishment of his idolatry:

because they sought after the gods of Edom ; he and his nobles, and many of the people following his example; from hence to the end of the chapter the same things are recorded as in (2 Kings 14:11–20) , see the notes there, (See Gill on 2 Kings 14:11) (See Gill on 2 Kings 14:12) (See Gill on 2 Kings 14:13) (See Gill on 2 Kings 14:14) (See Gill on 2 Kings 14:15) (See Gill on 2 Kings 14:16) (See Gill on 2 Kings 14:17) (See Gill on 2 Kings 14:18) (See Gill on 2 Kings 14:19) (See Gill on 2 Kings 14:20)
