Joe: Ok, so, let's dive into the Bible. Let's talk about 2 Chronicles 25! Jamie, what's this chapter about?

Jamie (Googling): Well Joe, it looks like this chapter is about a king of Judah named Amaziah. He was a good king who did what was right in the eyes of the Lord.

Joe: That's awesome! So what happened?

Jamie: Well, it seems like Amaziah was really successful in his military campaigns. He was able to defeat the Edomites and bring back a lot of gold and silver as spoils of war.

Joe: Sweet! That's a great victory! What else happened?

Jamie: Well, Amaziah had a bit of a problem with pride. He decided to hire a group of mercenaries to fight for him, even though the Lord had commanded him not to.

Joe: Hmm, that doesn't sound good. What happened when he hired them?

Jamie: Well, it didn't end well for Amaziah. The Lord was angry with him for disobeying, and the mercenaries turned on him and killed him.

Joe: Wow, that's intense. So, what happened after that?

Jamie: After Amaziah's death, his son Uzziah became king and he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord. He was able to restore peace to Judah and strengthen its defenses.
