King Jehoash of Israel sent this message to King Amaziah of Judah: A thistle in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon. It said: 'Let your daughter marry my son, but a wild animal from Lebanon came along and trampled the thistle.

The trees went out to anoint a king over them. They said to the olive tree: 'Be our king.'

He spoke of trees and plants, from the Lebanon cedars to the hyssop that grows on walls. He talked about animals, birds, reptiles, and fish.

Wild boars from the forest graze on it. Wild animals devour it.
