2 Mga Hari 14:9

Pero nagpadala ng tagapagbalita si Jehoas hari ng Israel pabalik kay Amasias hari ng Juda, na sinasabing, “Ang matinik na halaman na nasa Lebanon ay nagpadala ng mensahe sa sedar sa Lebanon, nagsasabing, “Ibigay mo ang iyong anak na babae sa anak kong lalaki para maging asawa,' pero isang mabangis na hayop sa Lebanon ang dumaan at inapakan ang matinik na halaman.

And 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 thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.
