2 Kings 13:1-9

1In 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 for seventeen years. 2He did evil in the sight of the Lord, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, 1into which he misled Israel; he did not turn from them. 32So the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and He continually handed them over to 3Hazael king of Aram, and to 4Ben-hadad, the son of Hazael. 4Then 5Jehoahaz appeased the Lord, and the Lord listened to him; for 6He saw the oppression of Israel, how the king of Aram oppressed them. 5And the Lord gave Israel a 78savior, so that they 9escaped from under the hand of the Arameans; and the sons of Israel lived in their tents as previously. 6Nevertheless they did not abandon the sins of the house of Jeroboam, 10into which he misled Israel; rather, they walked in 11them; and 12the 13Asherah also remained standing in Samaria. 7For he left to Jehoahaz no more of the 14army than fifty horsemen, ten chariots, and ten thousand infantry, because the king of Aram had eliminated them and 15made them like the dust at threshing. 8Now as for 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 16lay down with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria; and his son Joash became king in his place.
