Joash gets three victories over Ben-hadad When Hazael king of Aram died The phrase begins with the death of Hazael, a significant figure in the history of Israel and Aram. Hazael's reign is marked by his aggressive expansion and conflict with Israel, as seen in earlier chapters. The Hebrew root for "died" (מוּת, "muth") often signifies not just physical death but the end of an era or influence. Hazael's death marks a transition in the power dynamics of the region. Historically, Hazael was a formidable adversary, and his death would have been a moment of potential relief and uncertainty for Israel. Archaeological evidence, such as the Tel Dan Stele, corroborates Hazael's existence and his military campaigns, providing a tangible connection to the biblical narrative. his son Ben-hadad became king in his place Benhadad was probably a feebler sovereign than Hazael. The rule, "Fortes creantur fortibus et bonis," is perhaps as often contradicted as corroborated by actual experience. Verse 24. - So Hazael King of Syria died; rather, and Hazael... died. His death is a new fact, not involved in anything that has been previously stated. It appears by ver. 22 that he outlived Jehoahaz. And Benhadad his son reigned in his stead. Hazael, the usurper, gave his eldest son the name of the monarch whom he had murdered. It was an old royal name in Syria (1 Kings 15:18), having been borne by at least two of Hazael's predecessors. The meaning which has been assigned to it ("Son of the sun") is doubtful.Parallel Commentaries ...
