International Standard Version

Jehoahaz Becomes King of Israel

13 During the twenty-third year of the reign of^[a] Ahaziah’s son Joash, king of Judah, Jehu’s son Jehoahaz began his seventeen year reign in Samaria over Israel.^{[b] 2} He did what the Lord considered to be evil, after the pattern of Nebat’s son Jeroboam. By doing so, he caused Israel to sin, and he never changed course from it. ³ As a result, the Lord’s wrath flared up against Israel, so he handed them over to domination by King Hazael of Aram and later into constant domination^[c] by Hazael’s son Ben-hadad.
