(Occurrence 0) A thistle that was in Lebanon … trampled down the thistle

(Some words not found in UHB: and,sent Yəhōʼāsh/(Jehoash) king Yisrael to/towards ʼAmaʦ^yāh king Yehuda to=say the,thistle which/who in/on/at/with,Lebanon Shalah to/towards the,cedar which/who in/on/at/with,Lebanon to=say give, DOM daughter_of,your to,son_of,my to/for=(a)_woman and,passed_by being/animal the=field which/who in/on/at/with,Lebanon and,trampled DOM the,thistle )

This is a word picture and a riddle. A cedar tree is great and a thistle is small and worthless. Jehoash compares himself to the cedar and Amaziah to the thistle and warns Amaziah not to attack. If you have a similar comparison in your own language, you can use it.

(Occurrence 0) thistle

type of bush with thorns

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

(Occurrence 0) saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son for a wife,’

This direct quotation can be stated as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: “asking the cedar to give his daughter to the thistle’s son for a wife”
