Melachim Alef 14:15

For HASHEM shall strike Yisroel, just as the kaneh (reed), is shaken in the mayim, and He shall uproot Yisroel out of this adamah hatovah, which He gave to Avoteihem, and shall scatter them beyond the Nahar (River), because they have made their Asherah idols, provoking HASHEM to anger.
