2 Kings 13:5

Compare all

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.

2 Kings 13:5

The Lord gave Israel a saviour - Not immediately on the repentance of Jehoahaz but after his death (see II Kings 13:25).

They went out from under the hand of the Syrians - i. e. they ceased to be oppressed by the Syrians; they shook off their yoke, and became once more perfectly independent.

Tents - See I Kings 8:66 note.
