 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. Certainly, he can do without the prophet and his questions — he who could do without the Lord! (Amaziah: 2 Chronicles 25 by H.L. Rossier)

And it came to pass as he talked with him, that Amaziah said to him, Hast thou been made the king’s counsellor? Forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbore, and said, I know that God has determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened to my counsel.
