Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 13:1-25

Chapter 13Now we're going to move north again to the reign of Jehoahaz over Israel in chapter thirteen.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 2 Kings 13:1-25

2 Kings 13:4 . Jehoahaz besought the Lord, as oppressed Israel had done in the time of the Judges. 2 Kings 13:5 . The Lord gave Israel a Saviour.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 13:25

25. Three times did Joash beat him And so proved himself to be a “saviour” to Israel, (2 Kings 13:5;) but instead of following up his victories to the utter annihilation of the Syrian power, he was content with these three triumphs, and so justified the rebuke, and fulfilled the prophecy, of the dying Elisha. 2 Kings 13:19. Israel soon fell back into most bitter afflictions and extremity, (2 Kings 14:26,) and another saviour was raised up in Jeroboam the son of Joash. 2 Kings 14:27. read more
