2 Kings 13:3

Jehoahaz Reigns in Israel

1 In the twenty-third year of ^aJoash the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, ^bJehoahaz the son of Jehu became king over Israel in Samaria, and reigned seventeen years.

2 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and followed the ^asins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin. He did not¹ depart from them.

3 Then ^athe anger of the Lord was aroused against Israel, and He delivered them into the hand of ^bHazael king of Syria, and into the hand of ^cBen-Hadad the son of Hazael, all their days.

4 So Jehoahaz ^apleaded with the Lord, and the Lord listened to him; for ^bHe saw the oppression of Israel, because the king of Syria oppressed them.

5 ^aThen the Lord gave Israel a deliverer, so that they escaped from under the hand of the Syrians; and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents as before.

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).
