2 Chronicles 25:16-20

16

While he was still speakingH1696, the king askedH559, “Have we made youH5414 the counselorH3289 to the kingH4428? StopH2308! WhyH4100 be struck downH5221?”

So the prophetH5030 stoppedH2308, but he saidH559, “I knowH3045 thatH3588 GodH430 has determinedH3289 to destroy youH7843, becauseH3588 you have doneH6213 thisH2063 and have notH3808 heededH8085 my adviceH6098.”

17Then AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 took counselH3289 and sentH7971 word toH413 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 JehoashH31011 sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059, the sonH1121 of JehuH3058. “ComeH1980, let us meetH7200 face to faceH6440,” he saidH559.

18But JehoashH3101 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 repliedH7971 toH413 AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063: “A thistleH2336 in LebanonH3844 sentH7971 a message toH413 a cedarH730 in LebanonH3844, sayingH559, ‘GiveH5414 your daughterH1323 to my sonH1121 in marriageH802.’ Then a wildH7704 beastH2416 in LebanonH3844 came alongH5674 and trampledH7429 the thistleH2336. 19You have saidH559, ‘LookH2009, I have defeatedH5221 EdomH123,’ and your heartH3820 has become proudH5375 and boastfulH3513. NowH6258 stayH3427 at homeH1004. WhyH4100 should you stir upH1624 troubleH7451 so that you fallH859—youH5307 and JudahH3063 with youH5973?”

20But AmaziahH558 would notH3808 listenH8085, forH3588 thisH1931 had come from GodH430 in order toH4616 deliver themH5414 into the handH3027 of Jehoash, becauseH3588 they had soughtH1875 the godsH430 of EdomH123.
