2 Kings 13:22-25

New King James Version

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.
