What Does 2 Chronicles 25:14 Mean?
Amaziah returned from the Valley of Salt with a great victory but also with the spoils of war. Among these was something spiritually dangerous: the gods of Seir, the religious idols of the defeated Edomites.
Rather than rejecting these false deities, Amaziah set them up as objects of worship. He bowed down before them and burned incense in their honor, incorporating foreign gods into his religious practice and effectively turning away from the LORD.
