Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took it: and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 17 is found in chapter 12 of 2 Kings. Hazael of Syria advances against the cities of Judah and threatens Jerusalem. Joash takes consecrated objects from the temple and treasures from the palace and sends them to the Syrian king, causing him to withdraw. The scene contrasts with the previous section: the king who had devoted resources to repairing the temple eventually uses sacred treasures to respond to a military threat. The text does not present this solution as a spiritual triumph, but as a sign of Judah’s vulnerability. The kingdom’s political security again depends on international circumstances while the people’s faithfulness remains incomplete.
