SEV Biblia, Chapter 25:20
Mas Amasías no quiso oír; porque estaba de Dios, que los quería entregar en manos de sus enemigos , por cuanto habían buscado los dioses de Edom.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 20-28. But Amaziah would not hear , etc.] What the king of Israel advised him to, not to meddle to his hurt; for it came of God, that he might deliver them into the hand [of their enemies] ; Amaziah and his army into the hands of Joash and his; this was the will of God, and was brought about by his providence; and that it might be, Amaziah was given up to blindness and hardness of heart, as a punishment of his idolatry: because they sought after the gods of Edom ; he and his nobles, and many of the people following his example; from hence to the end of the chapter the same things are recorded as in ( 2 Kings 14:11-20), see the notes there,

Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 17-28 - Never was a proud prince more thoroughly mortified than Amaziah by Joash king of Israel. A man's pride will bring him low, Pr 29:23; i goes before his destruction, and deservedly brings it on. He tha exalteth himself shall be abased. He that goes forth hastily to strive will not know what he shall do in the end thereof, when his neighbou has put him to shame, Pr 25:8. And what are we when we offer to establish our own righteousness, or presume to justify ourselves befor the Most High God, but despicable thistles, that fancy themselve stately cedars? And are not various temptations, is not ever corruption, a wild beast of the desert, which will trample on the wretched boaster, and tread his haughty pretensions to the dust? man's pride shall bring him low; his ruin may be dated from his turnin from the Lord __________________________________________________________________
