22 King Hazael of Aram oppressed Israel as long as Jehoahaz ruled. 23 But the LORD was kind and merciful to the Israelites because of his promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He didn't want to destroy the Israelites, and even now he hasn't turned away from them. 24 King Hazael of Aram died, and his son Benhadad succeeded him as king. 25 Then Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, reconquered the cities that Benhadad had taken from his father Jehoahaz. Jehoash defeated Benhadad three times and recovered those cities of Israel. 2 Kings 13:22-25, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
