2 Chronicles 25:17-24

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.

21SoH5927 JoashH3101 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 wentH5927 upH5927; and he and AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 lookedH7200 one another in the faceH6440 at Beth-shemeshH1053, whichH834 belongeth to JudahH3063.

22And JudahH3063 was putH5127 to the worse beforeH6440 IsraelH3478; and they fledH5127 everyH376 manH376 to his tentH168.

23And JoashH3101 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 tookH8610 AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 the sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059, at Beth-shemeshH1053, and broughtH935 him to JerusalemH3389, and brake downH6555 the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389 from the gateH8179 of EphraimH669 unto the corner gateH8179, fourH702 hundredH3967 cubitsH520.

24And he tookH853 allH3605 the goH77251d and silverH3701, and allH3605 the vesselsH3627 that were foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of GodH430 with Obed-edomH5654, and the treasuresH214 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, the hostagesH8594 also, and returnedH7725 to SamariaH8111.
