Amaziah against Joash of Israel
2 Chronicles 25:17-24
17Amaziah king of Judah took counsel and sent to Joash son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, let us look each other in the face.” 18Joash 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 wife.’ Then an animal of the field that is in Lebanon passed by and trampled the thistle. 19You have said, ‘Look, I have struck Edom,’ and your heart has lifted you up to glory in it. Now stay in your house. Why should you provoke evil and fall, you and Judah with you?” 20But Amaziah did not listen, for it was from Elohim, in order to give them into the hand of their enemies, because they had sought the gods of Edom. 21So Joash king of Israel went up, and they looked each other in the face, he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Beth-shemesh, which belongs to Judah. 22Judah was struck down before Israel, and they fled, each to his tent. 23And Amaziah king of Judah, son of Joash son of Jehoahaz, Joash king of Israel seized at Beth-shemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem and made a breach in the wall of Jerusalem from the Gate of Ephraim to the Corner Gate, four hundred cubits. 24He took all the gold and the silver, and all the utensils that were found in the house of Elohim with Obed-edom, and the treasuries of the house of the king, and the hostages, and returned to Samaria.
8Then Amaziah sent messengers to Joash son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, let us look each other in the face.” 9Joash 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 wife.’ Then an animal of the field that is in Lebanon passed by and trampled the thistle. 10You have indeed struck Edom, and your heart has lifted you up. Glory in it, and stay in your house. Why should you provoke evil and fall, you and Judah with you?” 11But Amaziah did not listen. So Joash king of Israel went up, and they looked each other in the face, he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Beth-shemesh, which belongs to Judah. 12Judah was struck down before Israel, and they fled, each to his tent. 13And Amaziah king of Judah, son of Joash son of Ahaziah, Joash king of Israel seized at Beth-shemesh; and he came to Jerusalem and made a breach in the wall of Jerusalem from the Gate of Ephraim to the Corner Gate, four hundred cubits. 14He took all the gold and the silver, and all the utensils that were found in the house of YHWH and in the treasuries of the house of the king, and the hostages, and returned to Samaria.
16And it happened, as he was speaking to him, that the king said to him, “Have we made you a counselor to the king? Stop! Why should they strike you down?” So the prophet stopped, but said, “I know that Elohim has decided to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel.”
