This title is often used for prophets or individuals who speak on behalf of God, such as Moses, Elijah, and Elisha. It indicates a person with divine authority and insight. In the context of 2 Chronicles, prophets played a crucial role in guiding the kings of Judah, often calling them back to faithfulness to God.“What should I do about the hundred talents I have given to the troops of Israel?” Amaziah had hired mercenaries from the northern kingdom of Israel, which was often at odds with Judah. The "hundred talents" refers to a significant sum of money, indicating Amaziah's investment in military strength. This reflects the political and military tensions between Israel and Judah during this period. The hiring of these troops suggests a lack of trust in God's provision and protection, as Amaziah sought to bolster his forces through human means.And the man of God replied, The prophet's response is authoritative, reflecting the divine wisdom and guidance that comes from God. Prophets often delivered messages that challenged the status quo or human reasoning, calling people to trust in God's power and provision.“The LORD is able to give you much more than this.” This statement emphasizes God's sovereignty and ability to provide abundantly beyond human efforts or resources. It echoes biblical themes of faith and reliance on God rather than on human strength or wealth. Similar sentiments are found in passages like <a href="/ephesians/3-20.htm">Ephesians 3:20</a>, which speaks of God's ability to do "immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine." This assurance would have been a call for Amaziah to trust in God's provision rather than his own military strategies.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/a/amaziah.htm">Amaziah</a> King of Judah who sought to strengthen his army by hiring mercenaries from Israel, demonstrating a lack of full trust in God's provision. 2. <a href="/topical/t/the_man_of_god.htm">The Man of God</a> A prophet who delivers God's message to Amaziah, urging him to rely on the Lord rather than human strength. 3. <a href="/topical/t/troops_of_israel.htm">Troops of Israel</a> Mercenaries hired by Amaziah, representing a reliance on human resources rather than divine support. 4. <a href="/topical/j/judah.htm">Judah</a> The southern kingdom of Israel, where Amaziah reigned and sought to defend against external threats. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD</a> The covenant God of Israel, who promises to provide abundantly beyond human calculations.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/trust_in_divine_provision.htm">Trust in Divine Provision</a> God is capable of providing abundantly beyond our human calculations and resources. <a href="/topical/o/obedience_over_financial_loss.htm">Obedience Over Financial Loss</a> Sometimes obedience to God may seem costly, but His rewards surpass any earthly loss. <a href="/topical/f/faith_over_fear.htm">Faith Over Fear</a> Fear often drives us to rely on human solutions, but faith calls us to trust in God's promises. <a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_in_resources.htm">God's Sovereignty in Resources</a> Recognize that all resources ultimately belong to God, and He can redistribute them according to His will. <a href="/topical/p/prioritizing_god's_commands.htm">Prioritizing God's Commands</a> Our decisions should prioritize God's commands over financial or strategic considerations.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_2_chronicles_25.htm">Top 10 Lessons from 2 Chronicles 25</a> <a href="/q/solomon's_horse_stalls_count.htm">How many stalls of horses did Solomon have?
