13:1 In the twenty-third <07969> <06242> year <08141> <08141> of the reign <04427> of Judah’s <03063> King <04428> Joash <03101> son <01121> of Ahaziah <0274>, Jehu’s <03058> son <01121> Jehoahaz <03059> became king over Israel <03478>. He reigned in Samaria <08111> for seventeen <06240> <07651> years <08141>. 13:2 He did <06213> evil <07451> in the sight <05869> of the Lord <03068>. He continued <0310> <01980> in the sinful <02403> ways of Jeroboam <03379> son <01121> of Nebat <05028> who <0834> had encouraged Israel <03478> to sin <02398>; he did not <03808> repudiate <05493> those sins. 13:3 The Lord <03068> was furious <0639> <02734> with Israel <03478> and handed <03027> <05414> them over <03027> <05414> to King <04428> Hazael <02371> of Syria <0758> and to Hazael’s <02371> son <01121> Ben Hadad <01130> for many years <03117> <03605>. 13:4 Jehoahaz <03059> asked <02470> for the Lord’s <03068> mercy <06440> and the Lord <03068> responded favorably <08085>, for <03588> he saw <07200> that <03588> Israel <03478> was oppressed <03905> by the king <04428> of Syria <0758>. 13:5 The Lord <03068> provided <05414> a deliverer <03467> for Israel <03478> and they were freed <03318> from <08478> Syria’s <0758> power <03027>. The Israelites <03478> <01121> once <08543> more <08032> lived in <03427> security <0168>. 13:6 But <0389> they did not <03808> repudiate <05493> the sinful <02403> ways of the family <01004> of Jeroboam <03379>, who <0834> encouraged <02398> Israel <03478> to sin; they continued <01980> in those sins. There was even <01571> an Asherah pole <0842> standing <05975> in Samaria <08111>. 13:7 Jehoahaz <03059> had no <03808> army <05971> left <07604> except <0518> for <03588> fifty <02572> horsemen <06571>, ten <06235> chariots <07393>, and 10,000 <0505> <06235> foot soldiers <07273>. The king <04428> of Syria <0758> had destroyed <06> his troops and trampled <01758> on them like dust <06083>. 13:8 The rest <03499> of the events <01697> of Jehoahaz’s <03059> reign, including all <03605> his accomplishments <06213> and successes <01369>, are recorded <03789> in <05921> the scroll <05612> called the Annals <03117> <01697> of the Kings <04428> of Israel <03478>. 13:9 Jehoahaz <03059> passed away <01> <05973> <07901> and was buried <06912> in Samaria <08111>. His son <01121> Joash <03101> replaced <08478> him as king <04427>. 13:10 In the thirty-seventh <07651> <07970> year <08141> of King <04428> Joash’s <03101> reign over <04427> Judah <03063>, Jehoahaz’s <03059> son <01121> Jehoash <03060> became king over <05921> Israel <03478>. He reigned in Samaria <08111> for sixteen <06240> <08337> years <08141>.
