2 CHRONICLES 25:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God answered, The Lord is able to give thee much more than this.”
The Edomite campaign — 'Amaziah took courage, and led out his people, and went to the Valley of Salt and struck down ten thousand men of Seir' (ויאמץ אמציה את לבו ויוצא את עמו וַיֵּלְכוּ אֶל־גֵּי־הַמִּלַּח וַיַּכּוּ אֶת־בְנֵי־שֵׂעִיר עֲשֶׂרֶת אֲלָפִים). Amaziah leads his reduced force against Seir (Edom), striking the Edomites in the Valley of Salt (גיא המלח). The victory — 10,000 Edomites killed — suggests a decisive military success. The campaign represents Amaziah asserting Judahite power over tributaries.
