The anger of the LORD is a recurring theme in the Old Testament, often resulting from Israel's failure to uphold the covenant established at Sinai (Exodus 19-24). The burning anger signifies not just displeasure but an active response to sin, reflecting God's holiness and justice. This divine anger is not arbitrary but a consequence of Israel's actions, as seen in <a href="/deuteronomy/29-24.htm">Deuteronomy 29:24-28</a>, where the covenant curses are outlined.and He delivered them continually into the hands of Hazael king of Aram The phrase "delivered them continually" suggests a prolonged period of subjugation and suffering. Hazael, king of Aram (modern-day Syria), was a formidable adversary of Israel. His rise to power was foretold by the prophet Elisha in <a href="/2_kings/8-12.htm">2 Kings 8:12-13</a>, indicating God's sovereignty over nations and leaders. The historical context shows that Hazael's campaigns against Israel were part of a broader geopolitical struggle in the region, with Aram frequently clashing with Israel over territory and influence. This delivery into Hazael's hands is a fulfillment of the covenant curses for disobedience (<a href="/leviticus/26-17.htm">Leviticus 26:17</a>).and his son Ben-hadad Ben-hadad, the son of Hazael, continued his father's aggressive policies against Israel. The name Ben-hadad was a dynastic title used by several Aramean kings, similar to the use of "Pharaoh" in Egypt. This continuity of oppression under both Hazael and Ben-hadad underscores the severity of Israel's plight and the enduring consequences of their sin. The historical records, including the Assyrian inscriptions, corroborate the existence of these kings and their military campaigns, providing archaeological evidence of the biblical narrative. The ongoing conflict with Aram serves as a backdrop for God's eventual deliverance of Israel, highlighting His mercy and faithfulness despite their unfaithfulness.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD</a> The God of Israel, whose anger is kindled against His people due to their disobedience and idolatry. 2. <a href="/topical/i/israel.htm">Israel</a> The Northern Kingdom, which is experiencing God's judgment because of their continued sin and rebellion. 3. <a href="/topical/h/hazael.htm">Hazael</a> The king of Aram (Syria), who becomes an instrument of God's judgment against Israel. 4. <a href="/topical/b/ben-hadad.htm">Ben-hadad</a> The son of Hazael, who continues his father's role in oppressing Israel. 5. <a href="/topical/a/aram.htm">Aram (Syria)</a> The nation used by God to discipline Israel, highlighting the geopolitical dynamics of the time.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/g/god's_righteous_anger.htm">God's Righteous Anger</a> God's anger is not arbitrary but is a response to sin and rebellion.

We know so much less of the nature of the calf-worship and of the rites which accompanied it, that we cannot to the same extent justify the Divine severity in connection with it as in connection with the Baal and Astarte cult. Still, we must remember the coarse, lewd dancing which accompanied the first calf-worship (<a href="/exodus/32-19.htm">Exodus 32:19</a>), for which death was not thought too heavy a penalty (<a href="/exodus/32-27.htm">Exodus 32:27</a>), and the almost universal combination of unchastity with idolatrous ceremonies, which raises a suspicion that those who frequented the shrines at Dan and Bethel were not wholly innocent of impurity. And he delivered them into the hand of Hazel King of Syria. The national sins of Israel were mostly punished in this way, by the sword of some foreign foe. Hazael had been already made an instrument for the chastisement of Jehu (<a href="/2_kings/10-32.htm">2 Kings 10:32, 33</a>). Now he was to chastise Jehoahaz still more severely. And into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, all their days; literally, all the days. Not certainly all the days of the two kings Hazael and Benhadad, for Benhadad was entirely worsted in his war with Joash (vers. 24, 25), but either all the days of Jehoahaz, or all the days that God had appointed for the duration of the calamity. It is perhaps against the former interpretation that Hazael appears to have outlived Jehoahaz (vers. 22-24); but Ben-hadad may have warred against him as his father's general (ver. 25) during his father's lifetime. <a href="/commentaries/2_kings/13-3.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>So the anger אַ֥ף (’ap̄) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_639.htm">Strong's 639: </a> The nose, nostril, the face, a person, ire of the LORD יְהוָ֖ה (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel burned וַיִּֽחַר־ (way·yi·ḥar-) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2734.htm">Strong's 2734: </a> To glow, grow warm, to blaze up, of anger, zeal, jealousy against Israel, בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל (bə·yiś·rā·’êl) Preposition-b | Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3478.htm">Strong's 3478: </a> Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his desc and He delivered them וַֽיִּתְּנֵ֞ם (way·yit·tə·nêm) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5414.htm">Strong's 5414: </a> To give, put, set continually כָּל־ (kāl-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every into the hands בְּיַ֣ד ׀ (bə·yaḏ) Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3027.htm">Strong's 3027: </a> A hand of Hazael חֲזָאֵ֣ל (ḥă·zā·’êl) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2371.htm">Strong's 2371: </a> Hazael -- 'God sees', a king of Aram (Syria) king מֶֽלֶךְ־ (me·leḵ-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4428.htm">Strong's 4428: </a> A king of Aram אֲרָ֗ם (’ă·rām) Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_758.htm">Strong's 758: </a> Aram -- Syria and his חֲזָאֵ֖ל (ḥă·zā·’êl) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2371.htm">Strong's 2371: </a> Hazael -- 'God sees', a king of Aram (Syria) son בֶּן־ (ben-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son Ben-hadad. הֲדַ֥ד (hă·ḏaḏ) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1130.htm">Strong's 1130: </a> Ben-hadad -- 'son of Hadad', the name of several Aramean (Syrian) kings <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/2_kings/13-3.htm">2 Kings 13:3 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/2_kings/13-3.htm">2 Kings 13:3 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/2_kings/13-3.htm">2 Kings 13:3 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/2_kings/13-3.htm">2 Kings 13:3 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/2_kings/13-3.htm">2 Kings 13:3 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/2_kings/13-3.htm">2 Kings 13:3 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/2_kings/13-3.htm">2 Kings 13:3 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/2_kings/13-3.htm">2 Kings 13:3 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/2_kings/13-3.htm">2 Kings 13:3 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/2_kings/13-3.htm">2 Kings 13:3 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/2_kings/13-3.htm">OT History: 2 Kings 13:3 The anger of Yahweh was kindled against (2Ki iiKi ii ki 2 kg 2kg) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/2_kings/13-2.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="2 Kings 13:2"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="2 Kings 13:2" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/2_kings/13-4.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="2 Kings 13:4"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="2 Kings 13:4" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
