2 Kings 13:22

God's Mercy on Israel

22 Hazael king of Aram oppressed Israel throughout the reign of Jehoahaz,

2 Kings 13:22 In-Context

20 Then Elisha died and was buried. Now marauding bands of Moabites used to come into the land in the spring of the year.
21 Once, as the Israelites were burying a man, suddenly they saw a marauding band, so they threw the man into Elisha's tomb. When he touched Elisha's bones, the man revived and stood up!
22 Hazael king of Aram oppressed Israel throughout the reign of Jehoahaz,
23 but the Lord was gracious to them and had compassion on them and turned toward them because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He was not willing to destroy them. Even now He has not banished them from His presence.
24 King Hazael of Aram died, and his son Ben-hadad became king in his place.
