2 Chronicles 25:18-20

Revised Geneva Translation

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?”

²⁰ But Amaziah would not hear. For it was of God, that He might deliver them into his hand because they had sought the gods of Edom.
