Rashi on II Kings
And named it Yokseil. For it set his teeth on edge, as it is written, “After Amatzyohu came from killing the Edomites, he brought the gods of the children of Seir, etc., for deities, he would bow down to them, etc.,”1II Divrei Hayomim 25:14. and the prophet rebuked him and said to him, “I know that God has made a plan to destroy you.”2Ibid. v. 16. Now what was the advice? That He persuaded him to incite the king of Yisroel.
