Exegesis
Each relative clause introduced by asher {אֲשֶׁר | ’ă·šer} shifts focus from the thistle to the cedar and then to the field creature, enhancing the allegorical progression.
In context — 2 Chronicles 25:18
And Joash , king of Israel, sent word to Amaziah, king of Judah, saying, “In Lebanon a thistle spoke to a cedar in Lebanon, ‘Give your daughter to my son as a wife.’ But a wild animal of the field in Lebanon passed by and trampled the thistle.”
