Listen to 2 Reyes 13:20-25
20 Y muri贸 Eliseo, y lo sepultaron. Entrado el a帽o vinieron ej茅rcitos de moabitas a la tierra.
21 Y aconteci贸 que queriendo unos sepultar un hombre, s煤bitamente vieron al ej茅rcito, y arrojaron al hombre en el sepulcro de Eliseo; y el muerto toc贸 los huesos de Eliseo, y revivi贸, y se levant贸 sobre sus pies.
22 As铆 que Hazael, rey de Siria, afligi贸 a Israel todo el tiempo de Joacaz.
23 Mas el SE脩OR tuvo misericordia de ellos, y se compadeci贸 de ellos, y los mir贸, por amor de su pacto con Abraham, Isaac y Jacob; y no quiso destruirlos ni echarlos de delante de s铆 hasta ahora.
24 Y muri贸 Hazael rey de Siria, y rein贸 en su lugar Ben-adad su hijo.
25 Y volvi贸 Jo谩s hijo de Joacaz, y tom贸 de mano de Ben-adad hijo de Hazael, las ciudades que 茅l hab铆a tomado de mano de Joacaz su padre en guerra; porque tres veces lo hiri贸 Jo谩s, y restituy贸 las ciudades a Israel.

2 Reyes 13:20-25 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO 2 KINGS 13

This chapter gives an account of the wicked reign of Jehoahaz son of Jehu king of Israel, and of the low estate he was brought into by the Syrians, 2Ki 13:1-9, and of the reign of his son Joash, 2Ki 13:10-13, and of the sickness and death of Elisha; of the visit Joash made him in his sickness; and of his prediction of the king's success against the Syrians; and of the reviving of a dead man cast into the prophet's sepulchre, 2Ki 13:14-21 and of the success of Joash against the Syrians, according to the prediction of the prophet, 2Ki 13:22-25.

\\of Judah\\ The same year he was so zealous and busy in repairing the temple, 2Ki 12:6,

\\Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria\\; whereas Joash began to reign in the seventh year of Jehu, and Jehu reigned but twenty eight years, 2Ki 10:36, and 2Ki 12:1, this could be but the twenty first of Joash; to reconcile which it must be observed, that it was at the beginning of the seventh year of Jehu that Joash began to reign, and at the beginning of the twenty third of Joash that Jehoahaz began to reign, as the Jewish commentators observe:

\\and reigned seventeen years\\; the two last of which were in common with his son, as Junius, see 2Ki 13:10 17831-941219-2104-2Ki13.2
