Expanded Bible

War with Aram

²² During all the days Jehoahaz was king, Hazael king of Aram ·troubled [oppressed] Israel. ²³ But the Lord was ·kind [gracious] to the Israelites; he had ·mercy [compassion; pity] on them and helped them because of his ·agreement [covenant; treaty] with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. To this day he has ·never wanted [been unwilling] to destroy them or ·reject them [banish/cast them from his presence].

²⁴ When Hazael king of Aram died, his son Ben-Hadad became king in his place.
