2 Chronicles 25:17-19

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁷ Then Amaziah, king of Judah, took counsel and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, let us face one another.”

¹⁸ But Joash, king of Israel, sent to Amaziah, king of Judah, saying, “The thistle that is in Lebanon sent to the cedar that is in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as a wife.’ And the wild beast that was in Lebanon went and trampled down the thistle.

¹⁹ “You think you have stricken Edom; and your heart lifts you up to brag. Stay at home now. Why do you provoke trouble so that you should fall, and Judah with you?”
