In the
three and twentieth year of
Joash the
son of
Ahaziah king of
Judah Jehoahaz the
son of
Jehu began to
reign over
Israel in
Samaria, and reigned
seventeen* years.

And he
did that which was
evil in the
sight of the
LORD, and
followed* the
sins of
Jeroboam the
son of
Nebat, which made
Israel to
sin; he
departed not therefrom.

And the
anger of the
LORD was
kindled against
Israel, and he
delivered them into the
hand of
Hazael king of
Syria, and into the
hand of
Benhadad the
son of
Hazael, all their
days.

And
Jehoahaz besought the
LORD, and the
LORD hearkened unto him: for he
saw the
oppression of
Israel, because the
king of
Syria oppressed them.

(And the
LORD gave Israel a
saviour, so that they went
out from under the
hand of the
Syrians: and the
children of
Israel dwelt in their
tents, as
beforetime*.

Nevertheless they
departed not from the
sins of the
house of
Jeroboam, who made
Israel sin, but
walked therein: and there
remained the
grove also in Samaria.)
