Exegesis
The narration then returns with wa-tirmos {וַתִּרְמֹס | wa-tirmos} ‘and it trampled’, where ḥayyat-hā-sādeh {חַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה | ḥayyat-hā-sādeh} ‘wild beast of the field’ functions as agent, highlighting the sudden reversal of vulnerability through destructive force.
In context — 2 Kings 14:9
And Jehoash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “A thistle in Lebanon sent to a cedar there, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as a wife.’ Then a wild beast of the field in Lebanon passed by and trampled the thistle.”
