E Ioas, re d'Israele, mandò ad Amazia, re di Giuda, dicendo: 'Il cardo che era in Libano mandò al cedro che si trovava in Libano, dicendo: Dai a tua figlia tua figlia e mio figlio; e là passarono le bestie selvagge che erano in Libano e calpestarono il cardo.
II Chronicles
And Yoash, king of Israel, sent to Amatzyahu, king of Judah, saying: The thornbush in the Levanon [(Shechem, the son of Chamor)] sent to the cedar in the Levanon [(Jacob)], saying: Give your daughter to my son as a wife. And the animals of the Levanon passed by and trod down the thornbush [(i.e., the sons of Jacob despoiled the slain [(You, too, in your haughtiness, will be trodden down by my cohorts])].
