2 Kings 13:1-9

1In the twenty-thirdH6242H7969 yearH8141 of the reignH4428 of JoashH3101 sonH1121 of AhaziahH274 over JudahH3063, JehoahazH3059 sonH1121 of JehuH3058 became kingH4427 ofH5921 IsraelH3478, and he reigned in SamariaH8111 seventeenH7651H6240 yearsH8141. 2And he didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 and followedH1980H310 the sinsH2403 thatH834 JeroboamH3379 sonH1121 of NebatH5028 had caused IsraelH3478 to commitH2398; he did notH3808 turn awayH5493 from themH4480. 3So the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 burnedH2734 against IsraelH3478, and He delivered themH5414 continuallyH3605H3117 into the handsH3027 of HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of AramH758H3027 and hisH2371 sonH1121 Ben-hadadH1130.

4Then JehoahazH3059 soughtH2470 the favorH6440 of the LORDH3068, and the LORDH3068 listenedH8085 to himH413 becauseH3588 He sawH7200 the oppressionH3906 that the kingH4428 of AramH758 had inflictedH3905 on IsraelH3478H3588. 5So the LORDH3068 gaveH5414 IsraelH3478 a delivererH3467, and they escapedH3318H8478 the powerH3027 of the ArameansH758. Then the peopleH1121 of IsraelH3478 livedH3427 in their own homesH168 as they had beforeH8543H8032.

6NeverthelessH389, they did notH3808 turn awayH5493 from the sinsH2403 thatH834 the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 had caused IsraelH3478 to commitH2398, but they continued to walk in themH1980.1 The AsherahH842 pole evenH1571 remained standingH5975 in SamariaH8111.

7JehoahazH3059 had noH3808 armyH5971 leftH7604, exceptH3588H518 fiftyH2572 horsemenH6571, tenH6235 chariotsH7393, and tenH6235 thousandH505 foot soldiersH7273, becauseH3588 the kingH4428 of AramH758 had destroyed themH6 and made themH7760 like the dustH6083 at threshingH1758.

8As for the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JehoahazH3059, along with allH3605 his accomplishmentsH834H6213 and his mightH1369H3808H1992, are they not writtenH3789 inH5921 the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of IsraelH3478?

9And JehoahazH3059 restedH7901 withH5973 his fathersH1 and was buriedH6912 in SamariaH8111. And his sonH1121 JehoashH31012 reignedH4427 in his placeH8478.
