³² In those days the Lord began to cut Israel short: and Hazael smote them in all the coasts of Israel;

³ And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, all their days.

⁴ And Jehoahaz besought the Lord, and the Lord hearkened unto him: for he saw the oppression of Israel, because the king of Syria oppressed them.

²² But Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
