Context of 2 Kings 13:9
7Jehoahaz had no army left except for 50 horses, 10 chariots, and 10,000 foot soldiers because the king of Aram had destroyed the rest. He had made them like dust that people trample. 8Isn’t everything else about Jehoahaz—everything he did, his heroic acts—written in the official records of the kings of Israel? Jehoahaz lay down in death with his ancestors and was buried in Samaria. His son Jehoash ruled as king in his place. 10In Joash’s thirty-seventh year as king of Judah, Jehoahaz’s son Jehoash began to rule Israel in Samaria. He ruled for 16 years. 11He did what the Lord considered evil and never gave up committing the sins that Jeroboam led Israel to commit. He continued to commit them.
