they saw one another.That is, "they fought against each other."
To face an enemy, or to face one another, is still a common expression.
The reason of this war was evidently the injury the army of Joash had done to the unoffending inhabitants of Judah.
The ravages committed by them were totally unprovoked, base, and cowardly: they fell upon women, old men, and children, and butchered them in cold blood, when all the effective men were gone with their king against the Edomites.
The quarrel of Amaziah were certainly just, yet he was put to the rout:
he fell, and Judah with him, as Joash had said; and the reason was, because "it came of God, that he might deliver them into the hands of their enemies, because they sought after the gods of Edom." This was the reason why the Israelites triumphed.
2 Chron. 25:17• 17And Amaziah king of Judah took counsel, and sent to Joash the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look one another in the face. (2 Chron. 25:17)

Josh. 21:16• 16and Ain and its suburbs, and Juttah and its suburbs, and Beth-shemesh and its suburbs: nine cities out of those two tribes; (Josh. 21:16)
;
1 Sam. 6:9,19‑20• 9And see, if it go up by the way of its own border to Beth-shemesh, it is he who has done us this great evil; if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that touched us; it was a chance that happened to us.
 19And he smote among the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of Jehovah, and smote of the people seventy men; and the people lamented, because Jehovah had smitten the people with a great slaughter.
 20And the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to stand before Jehovah, this holy God? and to whom shall he go up from us? (1 Sam. 6:9,19‑20)
