2 Kings 13:22-25 - God's Mercy On Israel

22 And Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz. 23 But LORD was gracious to them, and had compassion on them, and had respect to them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither did he cast them from his presence as yet.

24 And Hazael king of Syria died, and Benhadad his son reigned in his stead. 25 And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz again took out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities, which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Three times Joash smote him, and recovered the cities of Israel.
