2 Kings 8:28 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 8:28

And he went with Joram the son of Ahab
His mother's brother, and so his uncle:

to the war against Hazael king of Syria in Ramothgilead;
which he went to recover out of the hands of the king of Syria, as his father Ahab had attempted in his time; in which he was assisted by Jehoshaphat, as now Joram was by a grandson of his:

and the Syrians wounded Joram;
as they did his father Ahab at the same place, though his wound was not mortal, as his father's was.

2 Kings 8:28 In-Context

26 Twenty-two years old was Achazyah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Yerushalayim. His mother's name was `Atalyah the daughter of `Omri king of Yisra'el.

27 He walked in the way of the house of Ach'av, and did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did the house of Ach'av; for he was the son-in-law of the house of Ach'av.

28 He went with Yoram the son of Ach'av to war against Haza'el king of Aram at Ramot-Gil`ad: and the Aram wounded Yoram.

29 King Yoram returned to be healed in Yizre`el of the wounds which the Aram had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Haza'el king of Aram. Achazyah the son of Yehoram king of Yehudah went down to see Yoram the son of Ach'av in Yizre`el, because he was sick.
