2 Kings 13:4-6

Expanded Bible

⁴ Then Jehoahaz ·begged [entreated; prayed to; sought the favor of] the Lord, and the Lord listened to him. The Lord had seen the ·troubles [oppression] of Israel; he saw how ·terribly [severely] the king of Aram was ·treating [oppressing] them. ⁵ He gave Israel a ·man to save them [rescuer; savior; ^Tdeliverer], and they escaped from the ·hand [grip; power] of the Arameans. The ·Israelites [^Lsons/^Tchildren of Israel] then lived in their own ·homes [^Ltents] as they had before, ⁶ but they still did not ·stop doing [depart/turn away from] these same sins that the ·family [^Lhouse] of Jeroboam had done. He had led Israel to sin, and they ·continued doing those sins [^Lwalked in them]. The Asherah ·idol [pole; ^Ca sacred tree or pole dedicated to the goddess Asherah; 1 Kin. 14:15] also was left standing in Samaria.
