A name from Scripture
Amaziah
am-uh-ZY-uh
Meaning
The LORD is mighty; Strengthened by the LORD
Hebrew origin · Boy · First in 2 Kings
What it points to
Amaziah — 'the LORD is mighty' — forgot whose strength had won his victories. His worship of defeated gods is the Bible's most absurd act of idolatry, warning us never to worship what God has already proven powerless.
Verses · King James Version
“And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart.”
2 Chronicles 25:2
“Wherefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of thine hand?”
2 Chronicles 25:15
