Context of 2 Kings 13:3
1In the twenty-third year of Joash son of King Ahaziah of Judah, Jehoahaz son of Jehu became king over Israel in Samaria, and he reigned 17 years. 2But he did what was evil in Adonai’s eyes—he continued in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he caused Israel to commit, and did not turn away from them. So the anger of Adonai was kindled against Israel, and He continually gave them into the hand of King Hazael of Aram and into the hand of Ben-hadad son of Hazael. 4Then Jehoahaz sought Adonai’s face, so Adonai listened to him, for He saw the oppression of Israel, how the king of Aram oppressed them. 5Adonai gave Israel a deliverer, so that they escaped from under the hand of the Arameans, and the men of Israel dwelt in their tents as they had before.

Commentaries on 2 Kings 13:3
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 3All their days - literally, “all the days.” Not “all the days” of the two Syrian kings, for Ben-hadad lost to Joash all the cities which he had gained from Jehoahaz 2 Kings 13:25; but either “all the days of Jehoahaz” 2 Kings 13:22, or “all the days of Hazael” - both while he led his own armies, and while they were led by his son.Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 3Hazael, who took the throne of Aram in Damascus by killing the previous king Ben-hadad II (2 Kings 8:15), kept oppressing the northern kingdom. Ben-hadad likely worked as a commander in Hazael’s army until he became king in 802 BC after his father.Read the comment
