2 Chronicles 25:16–20

¹⁶And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said unto him, Art thou made of the king’s counsel? forbear; ^swhy shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that ^tGod hath ^†determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel.

^17*Then ^uAmaziah king of Judah took advice, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us see one another in the face. ¹⁸And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The ^||thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by ^†a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle. ¹⁹Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten the Edomites; and thine heart lifteth thee up to boast: abide now at home; why shouldest thou meddle to thine hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee? ²⁰But Amaziah would not hear; for ^tit came of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because ^wthey sought after the gods of Edom.
