Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, with the challenge:“ Come, let us face each other in battle.”

After the battle, Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the king of Israel. Jehoash was the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu. Amaziah said,“ Come on. Let us face each other in battle.”

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.”

Amaziah then sent messengers to Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, and challenged him:“ Come, let’s meet face to face.”

Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying,“ Come, let’s face each other in combat.”

Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying,“ Come, let us face one another in battle.”

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.

Amaziah then sent messengers to Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying,“ Come, let us meet face to face.”

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.

After consulting with his advisers, King Amaziah of Judah sent this challenge to Israel’s king Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz and grandson of Jehu:“ Come and meet me in battle!”But King Jehoash of Israel replied to King Amaziah of Judah with this story:“ Out in the Lebanon mountains, a thistle sent a message to a mighty cedar tree:‘ Give your daughter in marriage to my son.’ But just then a wild animal of Lebanon came by and stepped on the thistle, crushing it!“ You are saying,‘ I have defeated Edom,’ and you are very proud of it. But my advice is to stay at home. Why stir up trouble that will only bring disaster on you and the people of Judah?”But Amaziah refused to listen, for God was determined to destroy him for turning to the gods of Edom.So King Jehoash of Israel mobilized his army against King Amaziah of Judah. The two armies drew up their battle lines at Beth shemesh in Judah.Judah was routed by the army of Israel, and its army scattered and fled for home.King Jehoash of Israel captured Judah’s king, Amaziah son of Joash and grandson of Ahaziah, at Beth shemesh. Then he brought him to Jerusalem, where he demolished 600 feet of Jerusalem’s wall, from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate.He carried off all the gold and silver and all the articles from the Temple of God that had been in the care of Obed edom. He also seized the treasures of the royal palace, along with hostages, and then returned to Samaria.

But Amaziah refused to listen, so King Jehoash of Israel mobilized his army against King Amaziah of Judah. The two armies drew up their battle lines at Beth shemesh in Judah.

Then Abner suggested to Joab,“ Let’s have a few of our warriors fight hand to hand here in front of us.”“ All right,” Joab agreed.So twelve men were chosen to fight from each side— twelve men of Benjamin representing Ishbosheth son of Saul, and twelve representing David.Each one grabbed his opponent by the hair and thrust his sword into the other’s side so that all of them died. So this place at Gibeon has been known ever since as the Field of Swords.A fierce battle followed that day, and Abner and the men of Israel were defeated by the forces of David.

don’t be in a hurry to go to court. For what will you do in the end if your neighbor deals you a shameful defeat?

Plans succeed through good counsel; don’t go to war without wise advice.

Pride leads to conflict; those who take advice are wise.

Starting a quarrel is like opening a floodgate, so stop before a dispute breaks out.

Fools’ words get them into constant quarrels; they are asking for a beating.
