II Chronicles 25:20 Commentary: Rashi, Rambam, Ibn Ezra & More

וְלֹא־שָׁמַ֣ע אֲמַצְיָ֔הוּ כִּ֤י מֵהָֽאֱלֹהִים֙ הִ֔יא לְמַ֖עַן תִּתָּ֣ם בְּיָ֑ד כִּ֣י דָֽרְשׁ֔וּ אֵ֖ת אֱלֹהֵ֥י אֱדֽוֹם׃

But Amaziah would not hear; for it was of God, that He might deliver them into the hand [of their enemies], because they had sought after the gods of Edom.

Rashi on II Chronicles

because this was from God in order to deliver them into their hands i.e., into their hands, as above (verse 16): “I know that God has given counsel to destroy you.”
