And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart.(2 Chronicles 25:2)

Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father.

Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and made them captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, according to the houses of their fathers, throughout all Judah and Benjamin: 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.(2 Chronicles 25:5)

He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valor out of Israel for an hundred talents of silver.(2 Chronicles 25:6)
