2 CHRONICLES 25:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Joash 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.”
The military outcome — Judah's rout — 'And Judah was defeated by Israel, and every man fled to his home' (ויינגף יהודה לפני ישׂראל ויברחו איש לאהליו). The defeat (ניגף, struck/smitten) is total; the Judahite forces flee in disarray. The phrase 'every man fled to his home' (יברחו איש לאהליו) emphasizes the rout — the army dissolves into a panicked mob.
