וַאֲמַצְיָהוּ הִתְחַזַּק וַיִּנְהַג אֶת־עַמּוֹ וַיֵּלֶךְ גֵּיא הַמֶּלַח וַיַּךְ אֶת־בְּנֵֽי־שֵׂעִיר עֲשֶׂרֶת אֲלָפִֽים׃
And Amażyahu strengthened himself, and led his people, and went to the valley of salt, and smote ten thousand of the children of Se῾ir.

וַעֲשֶׂרֶת אֲלָפִים חַיִּים שָׁבוּ בְּנֵי יְהוּדָה וַיְבִיאוּם לְרֹאשׁ הַסָּלַע וַיַּשְׁלִיכוּם מֵֽרֹאשׁ־הַסֶּלַע וְכֻלָּם נִבְקָֽעוּ׃
And another ten thousand did the children of Yehuda carry away alive captive, and brought them to the top of the rock, and they cast them down from the top of the rock, so that they all were broken in pieces.

וּבְנֵי הַגְּדוּד אֲשֶׁר הֵשִׁיב אֲמַצְיָהוּ מִלֶּכֶת עִמּוֹ לַמִּלְחָמָה וַֽיִּפְשְׁטוּ בְּעָרֵי יְהוּדָה מִשֹּׁמְרוֹן וְעַד־בֵּית חוֹרוֹן וַיַּכּוּ מֵהֶם שְׁלֹשֶׁת אֲלָפִים וַיָּבֹזּוּ בִּזָּה רַבָּֽה׃ {פ}
But the soldiers of the army which Amażyahu sent back, so that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Yehuda, from Shomeron as far as Bet-ĥoron, and smote three thousand of them, and took much spoil.

Rashi
ויפשטו בערי יהודה משמרון ועד בית חורון. לאחר שחזרו למקומם כדלעיל ויחר אפם מאד ביהודה וישובו למקומם שאם לא כן אלא מיד שנבדלו מאמציה פשטו בערי יהודה היה לו לומר ויפשטו בערי יהודה מבית חורון עד שומרון:
raided the cities of Judah from Samaria to Beth-Horon after they returned to their place, as above, “they were very angry with Judah and returned to their place.” For if it were not so, i.e., if they had raided the cities of Judah as soon as they left Amaziah, Scripture would have said, “and they raided the cities of Judah from Beth-Horon to Samaria,” [i.e., going from Judah to Samaria].
וכולם נבקעו. ויהי אחרי בא וגו' באיכה רבתי עליו נאמר ורגז ושחק ואין נחת (משלי כט):
and they were all split open, etc...after [Amaziah] had come, etc. In Lam. Rabbah it says about him, “whether he is angry or he laughs” (Prov. 29:9).
