2 Kings 14:7-14

7He slewH5221 of EdomH123 in the ValleyH1516 of SaltH4417 tenH6235 thousandH505, and tookH8610 SelaH5554 by warH4421, and calledH7121 the nameH8034 of it JoktheelH3371, unto this dayH3117.

8Then AmaziahH558 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to JehoashH3060, the sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059 sonH1121 of JehuH3058, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, Come, letH7971 usH413 lookH7200 one another in the faceH6440.

9And JehoashH3060 the 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.

10Thou hast indeedH5973 smittenH5221 EdomH123, and thine heartH3820 hath liftedH5375 thee upH5375: gloryH3513 thereof, and abideH3427 at homeH1004; for whyH4100 shouldest thou meddle to thy hurt, that thou shouldest fallH5307, evenH853 thou, and JudahH3063 with thee?

11But AmaziahH558 would notH3808 hearH8085. SoH3808 JehoashH3060 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 wentH5927 upH5927; and he and AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 lookedH7200 one anotherH3808 in the faceH6440 at Beth-shemeshH1053, whichH834 belongeth to JudahH3063.

12And JudahH3063 was putH5127 to the worse beforeH6440 IsraelH3478; and they fledH5127 everyH376 manH376 to his tentH168.

13And JehoashH3060 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 tookH8610 AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, the sonH1121 of JehoashH3060 the sonH1121 of AhaziahH274, at Beth-shemeshH1053, and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389, and brake downH6555 the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389 from the gateH8179 of EphraimH669 unto the cornerH6438 gateH8179, fourH702 hundredH3967 cubists.

14And he tookH3947 allH3605 the goldH2091 and silverH3701, and allH3605 the vesselsH3627 that were foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and in the treasuresH214 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, the hostagesH8594 also, and returnedH7725 to SamariaH8111.
