Jehoahaz Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, was a king of Israel who reigned for seventeen years, as recorded in 2Ki 10:35 and 2Ki 13:1. He succeeded his father, Jehu, on the throne of Israel. During his reign, Israel faced oppression from the Arameans, led by King Hazael and his son Ben-hadad III(2Ki.13.3, 22). The text states that Jehoahaz did evil in the sight of the Lord, following the sins of Jeroboam, which led to Israel's suffering (2Ki 13:2). However, when Jehoahaz sought the Lord's favor, God provided a deliverer for Israel, allowing them to escape from the Arameans (2Ki 13:4-5). Despite this, Israel continued to face military challenges, and their army was greatly reduced (2Ki 13:7). Jehoahaz's reign was marked by ongoing conflict with the Arameans and the consequences of Israel's disobedience to God. After his death, his son Jehoash (also known as Joash) succeeded him as king (2Ki 13:9).

The son and successor of Jehu, king of Israel (2 Kings 10:35). He reigned seventeen years, and followed the evil ways of the house of Jeroboam. The Syrians, under Hazael and Benhadad, prevailed over him, but were at length driven out of the land by his son Jehoash (13:1-9, 25).
