2 Kings 13:22-25 - God's Mercy On Israel
22 And, Hazael king of Syria, had oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz. 23 Then was Yahweh gracious unto them, and had compassion upon them, and turned unto them, for the sake of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, - and was not willing to destroy them, nor to cast them off from his presence, as yet.
24 So then Hazael king of Syria died; and, Ben-hadad his son, reigned, in his stead. 25 And Jehoash son of Jehoahaz again took the cities out of the hand of Ben-hadad son of Hazael, which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father, in war, - three times, did Joash smite him, and recover the cities of Israel.
