2 Kings 14:9-11

English Standard Version

⁹ And Jehoash king of Israel sent word to Amaziah king of Judah, ^(A)“A thistle on Lebanon sent to a cedar on Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son for a wife,’ and a wild beast of Lebanon passed by and trampled down the thistle. ¹⁰ You have indeed ^(B)struck down Edom, ^(C)and your heart has lifted you up. Be content with your glory, and stay at home, for why should you provoke trouble so that you fall, you and Judah with you?”

¹¹ But Amaziah would not listen. So Jehoash king of Israel went up, and he and Amaziah king of Judah ^(D)faced one another in battle at ^(E)Beth-shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
