And Hazael the king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.

And Jehovah was gracious to them, and pitied them, and turned toward them, for the sake of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and was not willing to destroy them, nor to cast them out from His presence as yet.

And Hazael the king of Syria died, and his son Ben-hadad reigned in his place.

And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz returned and took the cities out of the hand of Ben-hadad the son of Hazael that he had taken out of the hand of his father Jehoahaz in battle. Jehoash struck him threetimes, and he brought back the cities ofIsrael.
