2 Kings 14:7-14

7AmaziahH1931 struck downH5221 10,000H6235H505 EdomitesH123 in the ValleyH1516 of SaltH4417. He tookH8610 SelaH5554 in battleH4421 and calledH7121 it JoktheelH3371, which is its nameH8034 toH5704 this veryH2088 dayH3117.

8ThenH227 AmaziahH558 sentH7971 messengersH4397 toH413 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 JehoashH3060 sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059, the sonH1121 of JehuH3058. “ComeH1980, let us meetH7200 face to faceH6440,” he saidH559.

9But JehoashH3060 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. 10You have indeed defeatedH5221 EdomH123, and your heartH3820 has become proudH5375. GloryH3513 in that and stayH3427 at homeH1004. WhyH4100 should you stir upH1624 troubleH7451 so that you fallH5307—youH859 and JudahH3063 with youH5973?”

11But AmaziahH558 would notH3808 listenH8085, so JehoashH3060 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 advancedH5927. HeH1931 and KingH4428 AmaziahH558 of JudahH3063 faced each otherH7200H6440 at Beth-shemeshH1053 in JudahH3063. 12And JudahH3063 was routedH5062 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478, and every manH376 fledH5127 to his homeH168.

There at Beth-shemeshH1053, JehoashH3060 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 capturedH8610 AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, the sonH1121 of JoashH3060, the sonH1121 of AhaziahH274.

Then Jehoash wentH935 to JerusalemH3389 and broke downH6555 the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389 from the EphraimH669 GateH8179 toH5704 the CornerH6438 GateH8179—a section of fourH702 hundredH3967 cubitsH520.1 14He tookH3947 allH3605 the goldH2091 and silverH3701 andH853 allH3605 the articlesH3627 foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 and in the treasuriesH214 of the royalH4428 palaceH1004, as well as some hostagesH1121H8594. Then he returnedH7725 to SamariaH8111.
