2Ki 13:22 | MHM | STEP | v. 22-23 : Hazael continued to oppress Israel, but God remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Because of this promise, He did not destroy Israel completely (2 Kings 13:22; 2 Kings 13:23 ; Leviticus 26:42 ). Even though Israel had sinned, the Lord was still kind and merciful to them. He did not destroy them, but had compassion and gave them time to repent. This shows that even when God’s people sin, He is ready to forgive and show mercy if they turn back to Him. There is forgiveness with him, that he may be feared (Psalm 130:4 ).

v. 22-23: Hazael continued to oppress Israel, but God remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Because of this promise, He did not destroy Israel completely (2 Kings 13:22; 2 Kings 13:23 ^a; Leviticus 26:42 ^b). Even though Israel had sinned, the Lord was still kind and merciful to them. He did not destroy them, but had compassion and gave them time to repent. This shows that even when God’s people sin, He is ready to forgive and show mercy if they turn back to Him. There is forgiveness with him, that he may be feared (Psalm 130:4 ^c).
