2 Kings 13:6-8
New American Standard Bible
6 Nevertheless they did not abandon the sins of the house of Jeroboam, (A)into which he misled Israel; rather, they walked in [a]them; and (B)the [b]Asherah also remained standing in Samaria. 7 For he left to Jehoahaz no more of the [c]army than fifty horsemen, ten chariots, and ten thousand infantry, because the king of Aram had eliminated them and (C)made them like the dust at threshing. 8 Now as for the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did and his might, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

2 Kings 13:6-8
New International Version
6 But they did not turn away from the sins(A) of the house of Jeroboam, which he had caused Israel to commit; they continued in them. Also, the Asherah pole[a](B) remained standing in Samaria.
7 Nothing had been left(C) 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(D) at threshing time.
8 As for the other events of the reign of Jehoahaz, all he did and his achievements, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel?
