King Amaziah's question, "But what shall we do for the hundred talents?" highlights a common struggle in the life of faith. Commentators point out that this concern over financial loss is a frequent objection to what Matthew Henry calls "self-denying obedience." It reveals a heart that, while not entirely against God, is hesitant to fully trust Him when the cost is high.
