2 Kings13:4
4 And Jehoahaz besought the LORD, and the LORD hearkned unto him : for he saw the oppression of Israel , because the king of Syria oppressed them .
Not for his sake, for God regards not the prayers of the wicked and impenitent, Psal. 66. 18. Prov. 1. 28. and 15. 8. but for other reasons expressed below, ver. 23.
i. e. He observed it with care and compassion.
His chosen and once beloved people. He now helps them, because of his former and ancient kindness to them.
To wit, very grievously, as it is expressed ver. 7. So that he helped them no[illegible: 1+ letters] for their own sakes, but because of the rage of their Enemies, and their Blasphemies which doubtless accompained it▪ See Deut. 32. 27. Psal. 12. [illegible: 1+ letters].
