25:17 After King Amaziah of Judah consulted with his advisers,1 he sent this message to the king of Israel, Joash son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, “Come, face me on the battlefield.”2
[25:17]1tn The words “with his advisers” are supplied in the translation for clarification.
[25:17]2tnHeb “let us look at each other [in the] face.” The expression refers here not to a visit but to meeting in battle. See v. 21.
