Exegesis
The phrase waʾămaṣyāhû ‘and Amaziah’ mirrors the subject, and the locative phrase bə-bêṯ šemeš {בְּבֵ֥ית שֶׁמֶשׁ | bə-bêṯ šemeš} ‘at Beth Shemesh’ combined with the relative clause ’ăšer li-yhûḏāh {אֲשֶׁר לִיהוּדָֽה | ’ăšer li-yhûḏāh} ‘which belongs to Judah’ situates the encounter within Judah’s territory.
In context — 2 Chronicles 25:21
So Joash king of Israel went up, and he and Amaziah king of Judah confronted each other face to face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
