2 Kings 13:22-25

Common English Bible

²² Aram’s King Hazael had oppressed Israel throughout Jehoahaz’s rule. ²³ But the Lord was gracious to Israel and had compassion on them, turning back to them because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; he didn’t want to destroy them or throw them out of his presence until now. ²⁴ Aram’s King Hazael died. His son Ben-hadad succeeded him as king. ²⁵ Then Jehoahaz’s son Joash recaptured from Hazael’s son Ben-hadad those cities that Hazael had won in battle from Joash’s father Jehoahaz. Joash attacked Ben-hadad three times and took back these Israelite cities.
