2 Kings 13:1-9
Jehoahaz Reigns over Israel
13In the twenty-third year of Joash the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son of Jehu became king over Israel at Samaria, and he reigned seventeen years. 2And he did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, awith which he made Israel sin; he did not depart from them. 3aSo the anger of Yahweh burned against Israel, and He gave them continually into the hand of bHazael king of Aram, and into the hand of cBen-hadad the son of Hazael. 4Then aJehoahaz entreated the face of Yahweh, and Yahweh listened to him; for bHe saw the oppression of Israel, how the king of Aram oppressed them. 5And Yahweh gave Israel a asavior, so that they came out from under the hand of the Arameans; and the sons of Israel lived in their tents as formerly. 6Nevertheless they did not depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, awith which he made Israel sin, but walked in 1them; and bthe Asherah also remained standing in Samaria. 7For he did not leave to Jehoahaz any people for the army except 50 horsemen and 10 chariots and 10,000 foot soldiers, for the king of Aram had caused them to perish and amade them like the dust at threshing. 8Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did and his might, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel? 9And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria; and Joash his son became king in his place.
