Amaziah said to the man of God, “But what about the money I already paid to the Israelite army?” The man of God answered, “The Lord has plenty. He can give you much more than that!”
So Amaziah sent the Israelite army back home to Ephraim. {\cf2\super [288]} Those men were very angry against the king and the people of Judah. They went back home very angry.
Remember the Lord your God. Remember that he is the One who gives you power to do those things! Why does the Lord do this? Because he wants to keep the Agreement that he made with your ancestors [55] —just like he is doing today!
