Neither did he leave of the people to Jehoahaz but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and had made them like the dust by threshing.

Verse 7 is found in chapter 13 of 2 Kings. Jehoahaz reigns over Israel during a period in which Hazael oppresses the kingdom. The text states that Jehoahaz seeks the Lord and that the Lord hears his plea, although the sinful structure inherited from Jeroboam remains. The tension is significant: God responds mercifully to the king’s distress, but there is no complete reform of the religious system. Israel receives temporary relief and retains part of its territory, although it remains militarily weakened. The passage presents both judgment for unfaithfulness and mercy in response to affliction.

Denn es war des Volks des Joahas nicht mehr übriggeblieben als fünfzig Reiter, zehn Wagen und zehntausend Mann Fußvolk. Denn der König von Syrien hatte sie umgebracht und hatte sie gemacht wie Staub beim Dreschen.
Porque no le había quedado gente a Joachâz, sino cincuenta hombres de a caballo, y diez carros, y diez mil hombres de a pie; pues el rey de Siria los había destruido, y los había puesto como polvo para hollar.
De tout le peuple de Joachaz l'Eternel ne lui avait laissé que cinquante cavaliers, dix chars, et dix mille hommes de pied; car le roi de Syrie les avait fait périr et les avait rendus semblables à la poussière qu'on foule aux pieds.
Dopo che il Signore non ebbe lasciata di resto a Gioachaz altra gente, che cinquanta cavalieri, e dieci carri, e diecimila pedoni; conciossiachè il re di Siria avesse distrutti gl’Israeliti, e tritandoli, li avesse ridotti ad essere come polvere.
Porque não deixou a Jeoacaz, do povo, senão só cinqüenta cavaleiros, dez carros e dez mil homens de pé, porquanto o rei da Síria os tinha destruído e os tinha feito como o pó, trilhando-os.
亞蘭 王滅絕 約哈斯 的軍隊,踐踏他們如禾場上的塵沙,只給 約哈斯 留下五十騎兵,十輛戰車,一萬步兵。
