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.
