JEHOAHAZ'S WICKED REIGN OVER ISRAEL. (II Kings 13:1-7)
Jehoahaz . . . reigned seventeen years—Under his government, which pursued the policy of his predecessors regarding the support of the calf-worship, Israel's apostasy from the true God became greater and more confirmed than in the time of his father Jehu. The national chastisement, when it came, was consequently the more severe and the instruments employed by the Lord in scourging the revolted nation were Hazael and his son and general Ben-hadad, in resisting whose successive invasions the Israelitish army was sadly reduced and weakened. In the extremity of his distress, Jehoahaz besought the Lord, and was heard, not on his own account (Psalms 66:18; Proverbs 1:28; Proverbs 15:8), but that of the ancient covenant with the patriarchs (II Kings 13:23).
