2 Chronicles 25:15

Wherefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of thine hand?

Ver. 15. And he sent unto him a prophet.] When he might have sent him to hell with a thunderbolt; as the patientest man upon earth would have done likely, had he been in God's place and power.

Why hast thou sought after the gods?] It may be that the Edomites had hid their tutelary gods, and that Amaziah sought them out. The word signifieth a diligent, narrow search.
