2 Kings 13:7-9
New English Translation

7 Jehoahaz had no army left[a] except for 50 horsemen, 10 chariots, and 10,000 foot soldiers. The king of Syria had destroyed his troops[b] and trampled on them as dust.[c]

8 The rest of the events of Jehoahaz’s reign, including all his accomplishments and successes, are recorded in the scroll called the Annals of the Kings of Israel.[d] 9 Jehoahaz passed away[e] and was buried[f] in Samaria. His son Jehoash[g] replaced him as king.

Footnotes

  1. 2 Kings 13:7 tn Heb “Indeed he did not leave to Jehoahaz people.” The identity of the subject is uncertain, but the king of Syria, mentioned later in the verse, is a likely candidate.
  2. 2 Kings 13:7 tn Heb “them,” i.e., the remainder of this troops.
  3. 2 Kings 13:7 tn Heb “and made them like dust for trampling.”
  4. 2 Kings 13:8 tn Heb “As for the rest of the events of Jehoahaz, and all which he did and his strength, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?”
  5. 2 Kings 13:9 tn Heb “lay down with his fathers.”
  6. 2 Kings 13:9 tn Heb “and they buried him.”
  7. 2 Kings 13:9 tn Heb “Joash,” an alternate form of the name “Jehoash.” For clarity, the translation consistently uses “Jehoash” for the son of Jehoahaz King of Israel in 13:9, 12, 13, 14, 25.
