2 Chronicles 25:17-21
171Then 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, “2The 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 3defeatedH5221 EdomH112.’ And 4your heartH3820 has 5becomeH5375 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. 21So JoashH3060 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 wentH5927 up, and he and AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 facedH7200H6440 each other at Beth-shemeshH1053, whichH834 belonged to JudahH3063.
