2 Chronicles 25:7-9

Living Bible

⁷ But a prophet arrived with this message from the Lord: “Sir, do not hire troops from Israel, for the Lord is not with them. ⁸ If you let them go with your troops to battle, you will be defeated no matter how well you fight; for God has power to help or to frustrate.”

⁹ “But the money!” Amaziah whined. “What shall I do about that?”

And the prophet replied, “The Lord is able to give you much more than this!”
