2 Chronicles 25:16-20

16And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, Have we madeH6213 thee of the king’sH4428 counselH6098? forbear; whyH4100 shouldest thou beH1961 smitten? Then the prophetH5030 forbare, and saidH559, I knowH3045 that GodH430 hath determined to destroyH7843 thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counselH6098.

17Then AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 took advice, and sentH7971 to JoashH3101, the sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059 the sonH1121 of JehuH3058, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, ComeH1980, let us lookH7200 one another in the faceH6440. 18And JoashH3101 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 to AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, The thistle that was in LebanonH3844 sentH7971 to the cedarH730 that was in LebanonH3844, sayingH559, GiveH5414 thy daughterH1323 to my sonH1121 to wifeH802: and there passedH5674 by a wild beast that was in LebanonH3844, and trod down the thistle. 19Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten EdomH123; and thy heartH3820 lifteth thee up to boast: abide nowH6258 at home; whyH4100 shouldest thou meddle to thy hurt, that thou shouldest fallH5307, even thou, and JudahH3063 with thee?

20But AmaziahH558 would not hearH8085; for it was of GodH430, that he might deliver them into the handH3027 of their enemies, because they had soughtH1875 after the godsH430 of EdomH123.
