120,000 Killed for God

That is why the LORD his God allowed the king of Aram to defeat Ahaz and to exile large numbers of his people to Damascus.  The armies of Israel also defeated Ahaz and inflicted many casualties on his army.  In a single day Pekah son of Remaliah, Israel’s king, killed 120,000 of Judah’s troops because they had abandoned the LORD, the God of their ancestors.  Then Zicri, a warrior from Ephraim, killed Maaseiah, the king’s son; Azrikam, the king’s palace commander; and Elkanah, the king’s second-in-command.  The armies of Israel captured 200,000 women and children from Judah and took tremendous amounts of plunder, which they took back to Samaria. (2 Chronicles 28:5-8 NLT)
