Much More Than This

Name Date

Read and Think

Amaziah began well. He did right in Yahweh's eyes, though not with a perfect heart. He obeyed the law of Moses that children should not die for their fathers' sins. Then he prepared for war and hired a hundred thousand soldiers from Israel for a hundred talents of silver.

A man of God warned him that Yahweh was not with Israel. Amaziah's concern was the money. The prophet answered, Yahweh is able to give you much more than this. Amaziah obeyed, sent the soldiers home, and took courage. Judah won the battle against Edom.

Then came a strange turn. Amaziah brought home the gods of the very people he had defeated and worshiped them. God sent a prophet to ask why he would seek gods that could not save their own people. Amaziah silenced him. Proud of his win, he challenged Israel and was defeated. Jerusalem's wall was broken, and treasure was taken.
