2 Kings 13:2-4

Living Bible

² But he was an evil king, and he followed the wicked paths of Jeroboam, who had caused Israel to sin. ³ So the Lord was very angry with Israel, and he continually allowed King Hazael of Syria and his son Ben-hadad to conquer them.

⁴ But Jehoahaz prayed for the Lord’s help, and the Lord listened to him; for the Lord saw how terribly the king of Syria was oppressing Israel.
