2 Chronicles 25:17-24

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. 21So JehoashH3101 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 advancedH5927, and heH1931 and AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 facedH6440 each otherH7200 at Beth-shemeshH1053 in JudahH3063. 22And JudahH3063 was routedH5062 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478, and every manH376 fledH5127 to his own homeH168.

Then Jehoash brought himH935 to JerusalemH3389 and broke downH6555 the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389 from the EphraimH669 GateH8179 toH5704 the CornerH6437 GateH8179—a section of fourH702 hundredH3967 cubitsH520.3 24He took allH3605 the goldH2091 and silverH3701 andH853 allH3605 the articlesH3627 foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of GodH430 withH5973 Obed-edomH5654 andH853 in the treasuriesH214 of the royalH4428 palaceH1004, as well asH853 some hostagesH1121H8594.
