2 Chronicles 25:18

25:18 King Joash of Israel sent this message back to King Amaziah of Judah, “A thorn bush in Lebanon sent this message to a cedar in Lebanon, ‘Give your daughter to my son as a wife.’ Then a wild animal of Lebanon came by and trampled down the thorn bush. ⁹ 

[31:5]  ¹ tn Heb “and when the word spread out.”

[31:5]  ² tn Heb “the sons of Israel multiplied.”

[26:23]  ³ tn Heb “lay down with his fathers.”

[26:23]  ⁴ tn Heb “fathers.”

[26:23]  ⁵ tn Heb “a field of burial.”

[26:23]  ⁶ tn Heb “for they said, ‘He had a skin disease.’”

[31:19]  ⁵ tn Heb “the priests in the fields of the pastureland of their cities in every city and city.”

[31:19]  ⁶ tn Heb “designated by names.”

[25:18]  ⁷ sn The thorn bush in the allegory is Judah. Amaziah’s success had deceived him into thinking he was on the same level as the major powers in the area (symbolized by the cedar). In reality he was not capable of withstanding an attack by a real military power such as Israel (symbolized by the wild animal).
