The Incomplete Calibration of Amasyahu and the Seir Contamination

Amasyahu was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Yarushalayim. And his mother's name was Yahaddan of Yarushalayim.
25:2
And he did that which was right in the sight of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, but not with a perfect heart.
25:3

The Execution of the Conspirators

Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father.
25:4
But he slew not their children, but did as it is written in the Turah in the book of Mushah, where 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 commanded, saying, "The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin."
25:5

The Numbering of the Southern Grid

Moreover Amasyahu gathered Yahudah together, and made them captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, according to the houses of their fathers, throughout all Yahudah and Binyamiyn: and he numbered them from twenty years old and above, and found them three hundred thousand choice men, able to go forth to war, that could handle spear and shield.

But there came a man of Alahiym to him, saying, "O king, let not the army of Yashar'al go with you; for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 is not with Yashar'al, to wit, with all the children of Ephrayim."
25:8
"But if you will go, do it, be strong for the battle: Alahiym shall make you fall before the enemy: for Alahiym hath power to help, and to cast down."
25:9

The Financial Test of Trust

And Amasyahu said to the man of Alahiym, "But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Yashar'al?" And the man of Alahiym answered, "𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 is able to give you much more than this."
25:10

The Dismissal and the Wrath of Ephrayim

Then Amasyahu separated them, to wit, the army that was come to him out of Ephrayim, to go home again: wherefore their anger was greatly kindled against Yahudah, and they returned home in great anger.
25:11

The Strike in the Valley of Salt

And Amasyahu strengthened himself, and led forth his people, and went to the valley of salt, and smote of the children of Seir ten thousand.

And other ten thousand left alive did the children of Yahudah carry away captive, and brought them unto the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, that they all were broken in pieces.

Now it came to pass, after that Amasyahu was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the lo alahiym of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his alahiym, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense unto them.
25:15

The Indictment of the Uncalibrated King

Wherefore the anger of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 was kindled against Amasyahu, and He sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, "Why have you sought after the lo alahiym of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of your hand?"
25:16

The Rejection of the Seer

And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said unto him, "Art you made of the king's counsel? forbear; why should you be smitten?" Then the prophet forbore, and said, "I know that Alahiym hath determined to destroy you, because you have done this, and have not hearkened unto my counsel."
25:17

The Arrogance of Amasyahu

Then Amasyahu king of Yahudah took advice, and sent to Yoash, the son of Yahahaz, the son of Yehu, king of Yashar'al, saying, "Come, let us see one another in the face."

25:19
"You say, Lo, you have smitten the Edomites; and your heart lifteth you up to boast: abide now at home; why should you meddle to your hurt, that you should fall, even you, and Yahudah with you?"
25:20
