Context — Jehoash Defeats Amaziah
18But Jehoash king of Israel replied to Amaziah king of Judah: “A thistle in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son in marriage.’ Then a wild beast in Lebanon came along and trampled the thistle.
19You have said, ‘Look, I have defeated Edom,’ and your heart has become proud and boastful. Now stay at home. Why should you stir up trouble so that you fall—you and Judah with you?”
20But Amaziah would not listen, for this had come from God in order to deliver them into the hand of Jehoash, because they had sought the gods of Edom.
21So Jehoash king of Israel advanced, and he and Amaziah king of Judah faced each other at Beth-shemesh in Judah. 22And Judah was routed before Israel, and every man fled to his own home.Cross References

2 Chronicles 25:20 Summary
[This verse, 2 Chronicles 25:20, tells us that Amaziah, the king of Judah, refused to listen to the warning from Jehoash, the king of Israel, and as a result, God allowed him to be defeated. This happened because the people of Judah had started worshiping the gods of Edom, which is like having idols in our lives. We can learn from Amaziah's mistake by remembering to always seek God's guidance and to be humble, as encouraged in Psalm 119:105. By doing so, we can avoid the kind of trouble Amaziah faced and instead, trust in God's sovereignty over our lives, as seen in Romans 11:36.]
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did God allow Amaziah to be defeated by Jehoash?
God allowed this to happen because the people of Judah had sought the gods of Edom, and this was a form of judgment, as seen in 2 Chronicles 25:20, similar to the judgment in Deuteronomy 28:25 where God warns of defeat for disobedience.
What is the significance of Amaziah not listening to Jehoash's warning?
Amaziah's refusal to listen to Jehoash's warning, as stated in 2 Chronicles 25:20, demonstrates the hardness of his heart and his pride, which is also warned against in Proverbs 16:18 where it says pride goes before destruction.
How does this verse relate to the concept of God's sovereignty?
This verse, 2 Chronicles 25:20, shows that God is sovereign over all things, even the decisions of kings, and can use any situation to accomplish His purposes, as also seen in Romans 11:36 where it says all things are from Him and through Him and to Him.
What can we learn from Amaziah's mistake?
We can learn from Amaziah's mistake the importance of humility and seeking God's guidance, rather than relying on our own strength and wisdom, as encouraged in Psalm 119:105 where it says God's word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I am not listening to God's warnings or guidance, and how can I become more attentive to His voice?
- How can I balance confidence in my abilities with humility and recognition of my need for God's guidance, as seen in the contrast between Amaziah's pride and Jehoash's warning?
- In what ways am I seeking after false gods or idols in my life, and how can I turn back to seeking the one true God, as warned against in 2 Chronicles 25:20?
- What are some ways that God is sovereign in my life, and how can I trust in His goodness and wisdom, even in difficult circumstances, as seen in the story of Amaziah and Jehoash?
Gill's Exposition on 2 Chronicles 25:20

2 Chronicles 25:18 And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that [was] in Lebanon sent to the cedar that [was] in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that [was] in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle. Ver. 18-20, &c., to the end of the chapter.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 25:20
(20) But Amaziah would not hear.—And Amaziah hearkened not.For it came of God . . . gods of Edom.—This remark is added by the chronicler, accounting for the infatuation of Joash by reference to the divine predetermination of events. (Comp. 2 Chronicles 25:16; and 2 Chronicles 24:24; 2 Chronicles 10:15; the Syr. and Arab. omit.) That he might deliver them into the hand.—Heb., into hand; LXX., “into hands;” Vulg., “into the hands of the enemy.” Perhaps the original reading was, into his hand, i.e., the hand of Joash. Because they sought.—For they had sought.
