¹⁴ Now it was so, after Amaziah came from the slaughter of the Edomites, that ^(A)he brought the gods of the people of Seir, set them up to be ^(B)his gods, and bowed down before them and burned incense to them.

²³ For ^(A)he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus which had defeated him, saying, “Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, I will sacrifice to them ^(B)that they may help me.” But they were the ruin of him and of all Israel.

²¹ And they left their ^[a]images there, and David and his men ^(A)carried them away.

²⁵ You shall burn the carved images of their gods with fire; you shall not ^(A)covet^[a] the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it for yourselves, lest you be snared by it; for it is an abomination to the Lord your God.

⁵ But thus you shall deal with them: you shall ^(A)destroy their altars, and break down their sacred pillars, and cut down their ^[a]wooden images, and burn their carved images with fire.
