Explanation preview

This brief notice closes the account of Hazael, the Aramean king who oppressed Israel throughout Jehoahaz's reign (verses 22 and 24). The narrator records the succession of Ben-hadad, Hazael's son, in the ordinary style used for kings, and the change of ruler sets up the next verse, where Jehoash recovers from Ben-hadad the cities his father had lost.
