2 Kings 13:3-5

Good News Translation

³ So the Lord was angry with Israel, and he allowed King Hazael of Syria and his son Benhadad to defeat Israel time after time. ⁴ Then Jehoahaz prayed to the Lord, and the Lord, seeing how harshly the king of Syria was oppressing the Israelites, answered his prayer. ⁵ The Lord sent Israel a leader, who freed them from the Syrians, and so the Israelites lived in peace, as before.
