2 Chronicles 25:16-20
16As he was talkingH1696 with him, 1the king saidH559 to him, “Have we appointedH5414 you a royalH4428 counselorH3289? StopH2308! WhyH4100 should you be struckH5221 downH5221?” Then the prophetH5030 stoppedH2308 and saidH559, “I knowH3045 that GodH430 has plannedH3289 to destroyH7843 you, becauseH3588 you have doneH6213 thisH2088 and have not listenedH8085 to my counselH6098.”
172Then AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 tookH3289 counselH3289 and sentH7971 to JoashH3060 the sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059 the sonH1121 of JehuH3058, the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, “ComeH1980, let us faceH7200H6440 each other.” 18JoashH3060 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 to AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, “3The thornH2336 bushH2336 whichH834 was in LebanonH3844 sentH7971 to the cedarH730 whichH834 was in LebanonH3844, sayingH559, ‘GiveH5414 your daughterH1323 to my sonH1121 in marriageH802.’ But there passedH5674 by a wildH7704 beastH2421 that was in LebanonH3844 and trampledH7429 the thornH2336 bushH2336. 19You saidH559, ‘BeholdH2009, you have 4defeatedH5221 EdomH112.’ And 5your heartH3820 has 6becomeH5375 proudH5375 in boastingH3513. NowH6258 stayH3427 at homeH1004; for whyH4100 should you provokeH1624 troubleH7463 so that you, even you, would fallH5307 and JudahH3063 with you?”
20But AmaziahH558 would not listenH8085, for it was from GodH430, that He might deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of Joash becauseH3588 they had soughtH1875 the godsH430 of EdomH112.
