Als dieser aber so zu ihm redete, sprach Amazia zu ihm: Hat man dich zum Ratgeber des Königs gemacht? Halt inne; warum willst du geschlagen sein? Da hielt der Prophet inne und sprach: Ich merke wohl, daß Gott beschlossen hat, dich zu verderben, weil du solches getan und meinem Rat nicht gehorcht hast!
Was bedeutet das?
In this verse, a king is talking to a prophet. The king asks if the prophet is part of the king's counsel, and tells him to stop talking. The prophet then says he knows God has decided to destroy the king because he didn't listen to the prophet's advice.

Imagine you have a friend who tells you not to touch a hot stove. You ignore them and get burned. Now, think of the king as you, and the prophet as your friend. The king didn't listen to the advice and now there are consequences.
Historischer Hintergrund
2 Chronicles was written by an unknown author, likely a priest or scribe in Jerusalem, around the 4th century BC. It was written for the people of Israel returning from exile, providing them with a historical narrative of their kings and the consequences of their actions.
