2 Chronicles 25:11-14

25:11 Amaziah boldly led his army to the Valley of Salt, ¹  where he defeated ²  10,000 Edomites. ³  25:12 The men ⁴  of Judah captured 10,000 men alive. They took them to the top of a cliff and threw them over. ⁵  All the captives ⁶  fell to their death. ⁷  25:13 Now the troops Amaziah had dismissed and had not allowed to fight in the battle ⁸  raided ⁹  the cities of Judah from Samaria ¹⁰  to Beth Horon. They killed ¹¹  3,000 people and carried off a large amount of plunder.

25:14 When Amaziah returned from defeating the Edomites, he brought back the gods of the people ¹²  of Seir and made them his personal gods. ¹³  He bowed down before them and offered them sacrifices.
