2 Chronicles 25:16-20

16And it cameH1961 to passH1961, as he talkedH1696 with him, that the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, Have weH3588 madeH6213 thee of the king’sH4428 counselH6098? forbear; whyH4100 shouldest thou be smittenH5221? Then the prophetH5030 forbare, and saidH559, I knowH3045 that GodH430 hath determined to destroyH7843 thee, becauseH3588 thou hast doneH6213 this, and hast notH3808 hearkened unto my counselH6098.

17Then AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 tookH1980 adviceH3289, and sentH7971 to JoashH3101, the sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059 the sonH1121 of JehuH3058, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, ComeH1980, letH7971 usH413 lookH7200 one another in the faceH6440.

18And JoashH3101 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 to AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, The thistle that was in LebanonH3844 sentH7971 to the cedarH730 that was in LebanonH3844, sayingH559, GiveH5414 thy daughterH1323 to my sonH1121 to wifeH802: and there passedH5674 by a wildH7704 beastH2416 that was in LebanonH3844; and trode downH7429 the thistle.

19Thou sayest, LoH2009, thou hast smittenH5221 EdomH123; and thine heartH3820 lifteth thee upH5375 to boast: abideH3427 nowH6258 at homeH1004; whyH4100 shouldest thou meddle to thy hurt, that thou shouldest fallH5307, evenH853 thou, and JudahH3063 with thee?

20But AmaziahH558 would notH3808 hearH8085; for it was of GodH430, that he might deliverH5414 them intoH3027 the handH3027 of their enemies, becauseH3588 they had soughtH1875 afterH3588 the godsH430 of EdomH123.
