2 Könige 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 Könige 13:4 In-Context

2 Und er tat, was böse war in den Augen Jehovas; und er wandelte den Sünden Jerobeams nach, des Sohnes Nebats, wodurch er Israel sündigen gemacht hatte: er wich nicht davon.
3 Da entbrannte der Zorn Jehovas wider Israel; und er gab sie in die Hand Hasaels, des Königs von Syrien, und in die Hand Ben-Hadads, des Sohnes Hasaels, alle Tage hindurch.
4 Und Joahas flehte Jehova an; und Jehova hörte auf ihn, denn er sah den Druck Israels, denn der König von Syrien drückte sie.
5 (Und Jehova gab Israel einen Retter, und sie kamen aus der Hand der Syrer heraus; und die Kinder Israel wohnten in ihren Zelten wie zuvor.
6 Dennoch wichen sie nicht von den Sünden des Hauses Jerobeams, wodurch er Israel sündigen gemacht hatte: sie wandelten darin; auch die Aschera blieb in Samaria stehen.)
