2 Koningen 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 Koningen 13:4 In-Context

2 En hij deed dat kwaad was in de ogen des HEEREN; want hij wandelde na de zonden van Jerobeam, den zoon van Nebat, die Israel zondigen deed; hij week daarvan niet af.
3 Daarom ontstak des HEEREN toorn tegen Israel; en Hij gaf hen in de hand van Hazael, den koning van Syrie, en in de hand van Benhadad, den zoon van Hazael, al die dagen.
4 Doch Joahaz bad des HEEREN aangezicht ernstelijk aan; en de HEERE verhoorde hem; want Hij zag de verdrukking van Israel, dat de koning van Syrie hen verdrukte.
5 (Zo gaf de HEERE Israel een verlosser, dat zij van onder de hand der Syriers uitkwamen; en de kinderen Israels woonden in hun tenten, als te voren.
6 Nochtans weken zij niet af van de zonden van het huis van Jerobeam, die Israel zondigen deed; maar hij wandelde daarin; en het bos bleef ook staan te Samaria.)
