2 Kings 13:5-7
Christian Standard Bible
5 Therefore, the Lord gave Israel a deliverer,(A) and they escaped from the power of the Arameans. Then the people of Israel returned to their former way of life,[a] 6 but they didn’t turn away from the sins that the house of Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit. Jehoahaz continued them,(B) and the Asherah pole also remained standing in Samaria. 7 Jehoahaz did not have an army left, except for fifty horsemen, ten chariots, and ten thousand foot soldiers, because the king of Aram had destroyed them,(C) making them like dust at threshing.(D)

2 Kings 13:5-7
New International Version
5 The Lord provided a deliverer(A) for Israel, and they escaped from the power of Aram. So the Israelites lived in their own homes as they had before. 6 But they did not turn away from the sins(B) of the house of Jeroboam, which he had caused Israel to commit; they continued in them. Also, the Asherah pole[a](C) remained standing in Samaria.
7 Nothing had been left(D) of the army of Jehoahaz except fifty horsemen, ten chariots and ten thousand foot soldiers, for the king of Aram had destroyed the rest and made them like the dust(E) at threshing time.
