2 Kings 14:8–15

⁸ⁱThen Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, ^jlet us look one another in the face. ⁹And Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, ^kThe thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the ^lcedar 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. ¹⁰Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and ^mthine heart hath lifted thee up: glory of this, and tarry ^†at home: for why shouldest thou ⁿmeddle to thy hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee? ¹¹But Amaziah would not hear. Therefore Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at ^oBeth-shemesh, which belongeth to Judah. ¹²And Judah ^†was put to the worse before Israel; and they ^pfled every man to their tents. ¹³And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at ^oBeth-shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from ^qthe gate of Ephraim unto ^rthe corner gate, four hundred cubits. ¹⁴And he took ^sall the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king’s house, and hostages, and returned to Samaria. ^15*tNow the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
