Contextual Overview

20 Elisha died, and they buried him. Now groups of Moabite soldiers would come and fight in the land in the spring of the year. 21 As a man was being buried, some Moabite soldiers were seen, so the man was thrown into Elisha's grave. When the man touched the bones of Elisha, he came alive and stood up on his feet. 22 Now King Hazael of Syria had made it hard for Israel all the days of Jehoahaz. 23 But the Lord showed them kindness and loving-pity and turned to them because of His agreement with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He would not destroy them or put them away from Him until now. 24 When King Hazael of Syria died, his son Ben-hadad became king in his place. 25 Then Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took back from Hazael's son Ben-hadad the cities he had taken in war from his father Jehoahaz. Three times Joash won in battle against him and took back the cities of Israel.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Hazael: Psalms 125:3, Luke 18:7

Reciprocal: 2 Kings 13:3 - Benhadad

Gill's Notes on the Bible

So Hazael the king of Syria died, and Benhadad his son reigned in his stead. This was Benhadad the third; the first of this name was of the Damascene kings; but though the kingdom was now in another family, yet this name, being respectable with the Syrians, was retained in it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

So Hazael ... died - literally, “And Hazael died,” a fact not mentioned before.
