2 Kings 13:5 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 13:5

And the Lord gave Israel a saviour
Not an angel sent by him, nor a captain raised up among them, nor the prophet Elisha, who predicted their deliverance, nor Jehoahaz himself, but his son Joash, ( 2 Kings 13:25 )

so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians;
were not in subjection to them, nor harassed by them, nor in fear of them:

and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents, as before time;
in peace and safety.
