Jehu will put to death anyone who escapes Hazael’s sword. And Elisha will put to death anyone who escapes Jehu’s sword.

“ Why are you weeping?” asked Hazael.“ Because I know how much harm you will do to the people of Israel,” Elisha answered.“ You will set fire to their cities that have high walls around them. You will kill their young men with your swords. You will smash their little children on the ground. You will rip open their pregnant women.”

Hazael, the king of Aram, treated Israel badly. He did it the whole time Jehoahaz was king.

Then Jehoash won back some towns from Ben- Hadad, the son of Hazael. Ben- Hadad had captured them in battle from Jehoahaz, the father of Jehoash. Jehoash won three battles over Ben- Hadad. So Jehoash won back the Israelite towns.

Jeroboam, the son of Jehoash, made the borders of Israel the same as they were before. They reached from Lebo Hamath all the way to the Dead Sea. That’s what the Lord, the God of Israel, had said would happen. He had spoken that message through his servant Jonah. Jonah the prophet was the son of Amittai. Jonah was from the town of Gath Hepher.
