Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Kings 13:1-9

4. Jehoahaz’s evil reign in Israel 13:1-9Jehoahaz reigned over the Northern Kingdom from 814 to 798 B.C. Because Israel continued to disregard the Mosaic Covenant, God allowed the Arameans to dominate her. Hazael ruled Aram from 841 to 801 B.C., and his son, Ben-Hadad III, succeeded him. The date that Ben-Hadad III’s reign ended seems to have been about 773 B.C. [Note: See the chart of Aramean kings named in 2 Kings in my comments on 8:7-15 above.] Aram’s oppression moved Jehoahaz to seek... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Kings 13:9

(9) Slept with his fathers.—Or, lay down (i.e., to sleep) like his fathers, i.e., as his fathers had done before him. The same phrase is used even of Amaziah, who came to a violent end (2 Kings 14:22). read more

Age and Youth 2 Kings 13:14-19 This is the last hour in a prophet's life. The brave, simple-hearted Elisha, now past eighty years, has lain down to die. He had been not prophet merely, but patriot; and the nation's grief was the more bitter that at this juncture he could ill be spared. Repeatedly in the past he had stepped between Israel and the vengeance of her foes; even now, as he lay waiting for the end, his parting thoughts were given to his country. They must have been sad enough. Israel... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 13:1-25

JEHOAHAZ REIGNS IN ISRAEL (vv.10-13) Jehoash reigned in Judah 40 years (ch.12:1), and in his 23 rd year Jehoahaz took the throne of Israel (v.1). He reigned 17 years, so it would appear both these kings died about the same time, but verse 10 seems inconsistent with this, whatever may be the explanation. Jehoahaz followed the sins of Jereboam the son of Nebat, as his father Jehu had done (v.2). None of the kings who reigned in Israel (the twelve tribes) were godly men, but all followed the... read more

A CENTURY OF ISRAEL AND JUDAH JOASH OF JUDAH (2 Kings 11-12) The chief events of this reign are the rescue of the infant king from the murderous grandmother (2 Kings 11:1-3 ); the coup d’etat of the high priest by which he was raised to the throne (2 Kings 11:4-16 ); the reforms of the high priest as regent of the kingdom (2 Kings 11:17-21 ); the repairing of the temple by the king (2 Kings 12:1-16 ); the surrender to the Syrians (2 Kings 12:17-18 ); and the king’s assassination (2 Kings... read more

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and followed [walked after] the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom. 3. ¶ And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael [comp. chap. 2 Kings 10:32 , ... read more

The best improvement to be made of the short account of this man's reign is, that God's grace exceeded his undeservings. Sweet is that scripture, the Lord delighteth in mercy. Micah 7:18 . read more
