22 And Hazael (one who sees God) king of Aram (exalted) oppressed Israel (he wrestles with God) throughout the reign of Jehoahaz (YHWH has seized). 23 But the LORD {YHWH} was gracious to Israel and had compassion on them, and He turned toward them because of His covenant with Abraham (father of many), Isaac (he laughs), and Jacob (he grasps the heel). And to this day, the LORD has been unwilling to destroy them or cast them from His presence. 24 When Hazael (one who sees God) king of Aram (exalted) died, his son Ben-hadad (son of Hadad) reigned in his place. 25 Then Jehoash (given by the Lord) son of Jehoahaz (YHWH has seized) took back from Ben-hadad (son of Hadad) son of Hazael (one who sees God) the cities that Hazael had taken in battle from his father Jehoahaz. Jehoash defeated Ben-hadad three times, and so recovered the cities of Israel (he wrestles with God). 2 Kings 13:22-25, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
