Yes, biblegod is responsible.
Eliminating Amaziah's soldiers was just to open the way to Amazia (dispell his protections), but the original intention is clearly mentioned in verse 16: God hath determined to destroy thee.
And that's what heppened later on, although in a little more complicated way then usual.
I know I'm being picky, but I'd like to mention that you did'nt add Amaziah's soldiers to the list.
I'd actually give Yahweh the benefit of the doubt here.
Because:
"The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle." 2 Chronicles 25:18
And that indicates that Yahweh was pretty hungover at the time.
Leor: I've added 1000 of Amaziah's soldiers to the list.
twillight: I decided not to make a separate killing for Amaziah. I think you could say that God destroyed Amaziah by defeating his army (and thereby killing soldiers), but that God didn't participate in the assassination. I think God's guilty here, but I'm not sure I could prove it beyond a reasonable doubt.
How can Yahweh be hungover? Is there beer in Heaven?
Also, since when has God ever spoken through Joash before? In all likelihood, he was probably hungover...
