2 Kings 13:5-7

International Standard Version

God Delivers Israel

⁵ The Lord provided Israel with a deliverer, so they escaped the Aramean oppression while the descendants of Israel lived in tents as they had formerly. ⁶ Nevertheless, they did not change course away from the sins of Jeroboam’s household, by which he caused Israel to sin, but continued on that same course, with Asherah poles^[a] remaining in place in Samaria. ⁷ For the Aramean king^[b] had left only 50 cavalry, ten chariots, and 10,000 soldiers out of the army belonging to Jehoahaz, because the king of Aram had destroyed the others,^[c] making them like chaff left over after threshing.
