Now stay at home. Why stir up such trouble so that you fall and Judah with you?”But Amaziah would not listen, for this turn of events was from God in order to hand them over to their enemies because they went after the gods of Edom.So King Jehoash of Israel advanced. He and King Amaziah of Judah met face to face at Beth-shemesh that belonged to Judah.Judah was routed before Israel, and each man fled to his own tent.King Jehoash of Israel captured Judah’s King Amaziah son of Joash, son of Jehoahaz, at Beth-shemesh.
