SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:5
(Y dio el SEŅOR salvador a Israel, y salieron de bajo la mano de los siros; y habitaron los hijos de Israel en sus estancias, como antes.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 13:5
Verse 5. And the Lord gave Israel a saviour] This was undoubtedly Joash, whose successful wars against the Syrians are mentioned at the conclusion of the chapter. Houbigant recommends to read the seventh verse after the fourth, then the fifth and sixth, and next the eighth, &c.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 5. And the Lord gave Israel a saviour , etc.] Not an angel sent by him, nor a captain raised up among them, nor the prophet Elisha, who predicted their deliverance, nor Jehoahaz himself, but his son Joash, ( 2 Kings 13:25) so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians ; were not in subjection to them, nor harassed by them, nor in fear of them: and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents, as before time ; in peace and safety.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-9 - It was the ancient honour of Israel that they were a praying people Jehoahaz, their king, in his distress, besought the Lord; applie himself for help, but not to the calves; what help could they give him He sought the Lord. See how swift God is to show mercy; how ready to hear prayer; how willing to find a reason to be gracious; else he woul not look so far back as the ancient covenant Israel had so ofte broken, and forfeited. Let this invite and engage us for ever to him and encourage even those who have forsaken him, to return and repent for there is forgiveness with him, that he may be feared. And if the Lord answer the mere cry of distress for temporal relief, much mor will he regard the prayer of faith for spiritual blessings.
