2 Kings 13:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 And Jehoahaz besought the Lord, and the Lord heard him: for he saw the trouble of Israel, wherewith the king of Aram troubled them.
5 (And the Lord gave Israel a [a]deliverer, so that they came out from under the subjection of the Aramites. And the children of Israel [b]dwelt in their tents as [c]beforetime.
6 Nevertheless, they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam which made Israel sin, but walked in them, even the [d]grove also remained still in Samaria)

New International Version
4 Then Jehoahaz sought(A) the Lord’s favor, and the Lord listened to him, for he saw(B) how severely the king of Aram was oppressing(C) Israel. 5 The Lord provided a deliverer(D) for Israel, and they escaped from the power of Aram. So the Israelites lived in their own homes as they had before. 6 But they did not turn away from the sins(E) of the house of Jeroboam, which he had caused Israel to commit; they continued in them. Also, the Asherah pole[a](F) remained standing in Samaria.
