2 Kings 13:4 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Kings 13:4

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.

6 Nevertheless they did not depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who had made Israel sin, but walked in them; ^aand the wooden image also remained in Samaria.

7 For He left of the army of Jehoahaz only fifty horsemen, ten chariots, and ten thousand foot soldiers; for the king of Syria had destroyed them ^aand made them ^blike the dust at threshing.

8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, all that he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

9 So Jehoahaz rested with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria. Then² Joash his son reigned in his place.
