The evil

In those days the Lord began to cut off portions from Israel; and Hazael defeated them throughout the territory of Israel:

Then Hazael king of Aram went up and fought against Gath and captured it, and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.

So the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and He gave them continually into the hand of Hazael king of Aram, and into the hand of Ben-hadad the son of Hazael.

Thus says the Lord,
“For three transgressions of Damascus and for four
I will not revoke its punishment,
Because they threshed Gilead with implements of sharp iron.

Before their eyes;
Their houses will be plundered
And their wives ravished.

And all your fortresses will be destroyed,
As Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel on the day of battle,
When mothers were dashed in pieces with their children.

For she has rebelled against her God.

They will fall by the sword,

Their little ones will be dashed in pieces,
And their pregnant women will be ripped open.

Thus says the Lord,
“For three transgressions of Damascus and for four
I will not revoke its punishment,
Because they threshed Gilead with implements of sharp iron.

Yet she became an exile,
She went into captivity;
Also her small children were dashed to pieces

At the head of every street;

They cast lots for her honorable men,
And all her great men were bound with fetters.
