2 Reyes 13:4 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 13:4

And Jehoahaz besought the Lord, and the Lord hearkened unto
him
He did not apply in his distress to the calves he worshipped, but to the Lord; who had a regard to his prayer, not for his sake, or any righteousness of his, or even his repentance and humiliation, which were only external; but for the sake of Israel, and because they were oppressed, who were his people, and he their God, though they had sadly departed from him:

for he saw the oppression of Israel;
not only with his eye of omniscience, but with an eye of mercy and compassion:

because the king of Syria oppressed them;
by his incursions upon them, and wars with them.

2 Reyes 13:4 In-Context

2 E hizo lo malo ante los ojos del SE脩OR, y sigui贸 tras los pecados con que Jeroboam, hijo de Nabat, hizo pecar a Israel; no se apart贸 de ellos.
3 Y se encendi贸 la ira del SE脩OR contra Israel, y los entreg贸 d铆a tras d铆a en mano de Hazael, rey de Aram, y en mano de Ben-adad, hijo de Hazael.
4 Entonces Joacaz implor贸 el favor del SE脩OR, y el SE脩OR lo oy贸; porque El vio la opresi贸n de Israel, de c贸mo el rey de Aram los oprim铆a.
5 Y el SE脩OR dio a Israel un libertador, y escaparon del poder de los arameos; y habitaron los hijos de Israel en sus tiendas como antes.
6 Con todo, no se apartaron de los pecados con que la casa de Jeroboam hizo pecar a Israel, sino que anduvieron en ellos; y tambi茅n la Asera permaneci贸 en pie en Samaria.
