2 Kings 13:3-7

English Standard Version

^3 (A)And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he gave them continually into the hand of ^(B)Hazael king of Syria and into the hand of ^(C)Ben-hadad the son of Hazael. ⁴ Then Jehoahaz ^(D)sought the favor of the Lord, and the Lord listened to him, ^(E)for he saw the oppression of Israel, how the king of Syria oppressed them. ⁵ (Therefore the Lord gave Israel ^(F)a savior, so that they escaped from the hand of the Syrians, and the people of Israel lived in ^(G)their homes as formerly. ⁶ Nevertheless, they did not depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, ^(H)which he made Israel to sin, but walked^[a] in them; and ^(I)the Asherah also remained in Samaria.) ⁷ For there was not left to Jehoahaz an army of more than fifty horsemen and ten chariots and ten thousand footmen, for the king of Syria had destroyed them and made them like the dust ^(J)at threshing.
