2 Kings 13:24 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 13:24

So Hazael the king of Syria died, and Benhadad his son reigned
in his stead.
] This was Benhadad the third; the first of this name was of the Damascene kings; but though the kingdom was now in another family, yet this name, being respectable with the Syrians, was retained in it.

2 Kings 13:24 In-Context

22 Hazael, the king of Aram, treated Israel badly. He did it the whole time Jehoahaz was king.
23 But the LORD showed his favor to Israel. He was tender and kind to them. He showed concern for them. He did all of those things because of the covenant he had made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. To this very day he hasn't been willing to destroy them. And he hasn't driven them out of his land.
24 Hazael, the king of Aram, died. His son Ben-Hadad became the next king after him.
25 Then Jehoash took some towns back from Ben-Hadad, the son of Hazael. Ben-Hadad had captured them in battle from Jehoahaz, the father of Jehoash. Jehoash won three battles over Ben-Hadad. So Jehoash took back the Israelite towns.
