2 Reyes 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.

2 Reyes 12:17 In-Context

15 Y no se exij铆a cuentas a los varones en cuyas manos el dinero era entregado, para que ellos lo diesen a los que hac铆an la obra; porque ellos lo hac铆an fielmente.
16 Mas el dinero por el delito, y el dinero por los pecados, no se met铆a en la Casa del SE脩OR; porque era de los sacerdotes.
17 Entonces subi贸 Hazael rey de Siria, y pele贸 contra Gat, y la tom贸; y puso Hazael su rostro para subir contra Jerusal茅n;
18 y tom贸 Jo谩s rey de Jud谩 todas las ofrendas que hab铆a dedicado Josafat, y Joram y Ocoz铆as sus padres, reyes de Jud谩, y las que 茅l hab铆a dedicado, y todo el oro que se hall贸 en los tesoros de la Casa del SE脩OR, y en la casa del rey, y lo envi贸 a Hazael rey de Siria; y 茅l se parti贸 de Jerusal茅n.
19 Lo dem谩s de los hechos de Jo谩s, y todas las cosas que hizo, 驴no est谩 todo escrito en el libro de las cr贸nicas de los reyes de Jud谩?
