2 Chronicles 25:17-19

Modern English Version

Israel Defeats Judah

¹⁷ Then Amaziah king of Judah received advice and sent for Jehoash^[a] the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu king of Israel, saying, “Come, let us meet together.”

¹⁸ So Jehoash king of Israel sent a message for Amaziah king of Judah saying, “A thistle in Lebanon sent for a cedar in Lebanon stating, ‘Give your daughter to my son as a wife.’ Then an animal of the field in Lebanon passed by and trampled the thistle. ¹⁹ You say that you have struck down Edom, and your heart lifts you up in arrogance. Now remain in your palace. Why do you provoke disaster so that you fall, you and Judah with you?”
