2 Kings 13:22-25
New American Standard Bible
22 Now (A)Hazael king of Aram had oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz. 23 But the (B)Lord was gracious to them and (C)had compassion on them and turned to them because of (D)His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and He was unwilling to eliminate them or cast them away from His presence until now.
24 When Hazael king of Aram died, his son Ben-hadad became king in his place. 25 Then (E)Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz again took from the hand of Ben-hadad the son of Hazael the cities which he had taken in war from the hand of his father Jehoahaz. (F)Three times Joash [a]defeated him and recovered the cities of Israel.

Israel Recaptures Cities from Syria
22 And (A)Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz. 23 But the Lord was (B)gracious to them, had compassion on them, and (C)regarded them, (D)because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not yet destroy them or cast them from His presence.
24 Now Hazael king of Syria died. Then Ben-Hadad his son reigned in his place. 25 And [a]Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz recaptured from the hand of Ben-Hadad, the son of Hazael, the cities which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. (E)Three times Joash defeated him and recaptured the cities of Israel.
