SEV Biblia, Chapter 25:14
¶ Y cuando Amasías volvió de la matanza de los Idumeos, trajo también consigo los dioses de los hijos de Seir, y se los puso para sí por dioses, y se encorvó delante de ellos, y les quemó incienso.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 25:14
Verse 14. The gods of the children of Seir] "The idols of the children of Gebal." -Targum.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites , etc.] Instead of returning thanks to God for the victory obtained, and giving him the glory of it: that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods ; what were the gods of the Edomites is nowhere said in Scripture; only Josephus speaks of the priests of Coze, which he says was a god of the Idumaeans: and bowed himself before them, and burned incense unto them ; which was the greatest piece of sottishhess and stupidity imaginable, to worship the gods of a nation conquered by him; for since they could not save them, what help could he expect from them?
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 14-16 - To worship the gods of those whom Amaziah had conquered, who could no help their own worshippers, was the greatest absurdity. If men woul consider how unable all those things are to help them, to which the look whenever they forsake God, they would not be such enemies to themselves. The reproof God sent by a prophet was too just to be answered; themselves. The reproof God sent by a prophet was too just to be answered; but he was bidden not to say a word more. The secur sinner rejoices to have silenced his reprovers and monitors; but what comes of it? Those that are deaf to reproof, are ripening for destruction.
