Notes

2 Kings 13:4–5

Jehoahaz sought the favor of the LORD, and the LORD listened: Despite Jehoahaz's poor spiritual state, God kindly answered his prayer. The Lord kindly answers the sincere prayers of His people (see also 2 Kings 4:32–35; 6:17–20; 19:14–28; 20:2–6; 1 Kings 3:8–14; 13:4–6; 17:21–23; 18:36–39; Psalm 34:4–7; James 5:16).
the LORD gave Israel a deliverer (compare Judges 3:9, 15): Scholars have suggested many possibilities for Israel’s rescuer. The most likely is King Adad-nirari III of Assyria, whose westward campaigns led to the capture of Damascus in 802 BC.
