2 Reis 12:17 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 12:17

Then Hazael king of Syria went up and fought against Gath, and
took it
When Jehoiada was dead, and Jehoash was become an apostate, the Lord suffered the king of Syria to be a scourge to him; who first attacked Gath, and took it, which was formerly one of the principalities of the Philistines, but was subdued by David, and had been in the hands of the Israelites ever since; the king of Syria began with this, as nearest to him, to open the way for what he had further in view:

and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem;
he made such preparations, and took such measures, as plainly indicated what his design was.

18 Então Joás, rei de Judá, apanhou todos os objetos consagrados por seus antepassados Josafá, Jeorão e Acazias, reis de Judá, e os que ele mesmo havia consagrado, e todo o ouro encontrado no depósito do templo do SENHOR e do palácio real, e enviou tudo a Hazael, rei da Síria, que, assim, desistiu de atacar Jerusalém.
