Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?


2 Kings 14:8-15

8. Then Amaziah sent messengers to JEHOASH, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, "Come, let us look one another in the face."
9. JEHOASH the 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 your daughter to my son as wife. Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by, and trampled down the thistle.
10. You have indeed struck Edom, and your heart has lifted you up. Enjoy the glory of it, and stay at home; for why should you meddle to your harm, that you fall, even 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 looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
12. Judah was defeated by Israel; and each man fled to his tent.
13. JEHOASH king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of JEHOASH the son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
14. He took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in The LORD's house and in the treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
15. Now the rest of the acts of JEHOASH which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

19. You say to yourself that you have struck Edom; and your heart lifts you up to boast. Now stay at home. Why should you meddle with trouble, that you should fall, even you, and Judah with you?'"
