Context of 2 Kings 13:22

20Elisha died and was buried. Moabite raiding parties used to invade the country in the spring. 21One day some people who were burying a man saw one of these raiding parties. So they quickly put the man into Elisha’s tomb. But when the body touched Elisha’s bones, the man came back to life and stood up. King Hazael of Aram oppressed Israel as long as Jehoahaz ruled. 23But the Lord was kind and merciful to the Israelites because of his promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He didn’t want to destroy the Israelites, and even now he hasn’t turned away from them. 24King Hazael of Aram died, and his son Benhadad succeeded him as king.

Commentaries on 2 Kings 13:22

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 20-25Verses 20-25 God has many ways to chastise a provoking people. Trouble comes sometimes from that point whence we least feared it.
