2 Kings 14:7-14

7He 1killedH5221 tenH6235 thousandH505 of the EdomitesH112 in 2the ValleyH1516 of SaltH4417, and tookH8610 3SelaH5554 by warH4421, and namedH7121H8034 it 4JoktheelH3371, as it is to thisH2088 dayH3117.

85ThenH227 AmaziahH558 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to 6JehoashH3060, the sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059 sonH1121 of JehuH3058, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, “7ComeH1980, let’s faceH7200H6440 each other in combat.” 9But JehoashH3060 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 messengers to AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, “8The thornH2336 bushH2336 that was in LebanonH3844 sentH7971 word to the cedarH730 that was in LebanonH3844, sayingH559, ‘GiveH5414 your daughterH1323 to my sonH1121 9in marriageH802.’ But a wildH7704 animalH2421 that was in LebanonH3844 passedH5674 byH5674 and trampledH7429 the thornH2336 bushH2336. 1010You have indeedH5221 11defeatedH5221 EdomH112, and 12your heartH3820 13is elatedH5375. EnjoyH3513 the gloryH3513 and stayH3427 homeH1004; for whyH4100 should you getH1624 involvedH1624 inH1624 troubleH7463 so that you would fallH5307, you and JudahH3063 with you?”

11But AmaziahH558 would not listenH8085. So JehoashH3060 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 wentH5927 upH5927; and they facedH7200H6440 each other, he and AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, at 14Beth-shemeshH1053, whichH834 belongs to JudahH3063. 12And JudahH3063 was defeatedH5062 by IsraelH3478, and 15they fledH5127, everyH376 manH376 to his tentH168. 13Then JehoashH3060 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 capturedH8610 AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, the sonH1121 of JehoashH3060 the sonH1121 of AhaziahH274, at Beth-shemeshH1053, and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389 and toreH6555 downH6555 the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389 from 16the GateH8179 of EphraimH669 to 17the CornerH6438 GateH8179, 18fourH702 hundredH3967 cubitsH520. 14And 19he tookH3947 allH3605 the goldH2091 and silverH3701 and allH3605 the utensilsH3627 which were foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, and in the treasuriesH214 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, the hostagesH1121H8594 as well, and returnedH7725 to SamariaH8111.
