What Does 2 Chronicles 25:21 Mean?
Rather than decline Amaziah's challenge, Joash accepted it. The king of Israel marched his forces southward into Judah. The two armies met at Bethshemesh, a city in Judah's territory, where the two kings would face each other.
The moment Amaziah had sought—to see Joash face to face—came to pass. But the outcome would prove devastating, as Joash had warned.
