• Is not this "why" touching? Will Amaziah perhaps humble himself and acknowledge his guilt? This "why" is opening a door of repentance to him. This effort to restore him is very much a part of the prophet's merciful calling! Amaziah had listened to the first prophet, but without a deep conviction of the evil path in which he was involved; what will he now respond to the second prophet? (“Amaziah: 2 Chronicles 25” by H.L. Rossier)
• How do you dare speak to me? "Forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten?" Pride speaks through the mouth of the king. His victory over Edom has only nursed the high opinion he has of himself.
