Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

All their days - literally, "all the days." Not "all the days" of the two Syrian kings, for Ben-hadad lost to Joash all the cities which he had gained from Jehoahaz 2-Kings 13:25; but either "all the days of Jehoahaz" 2-Kings 13:22, or "all the days of Hazael" - both while he led his own armies, and while they were led by his son.

And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, all (b) [their] days.
(b) While Jehoahaz lived.

And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel,.... They doing as their kings did:
and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, all their days; the word "their" should not be supplied, since it was not true that Israel was delivered into the hands of both those kings of Syria as long as they lived; for they were delivered out of the hands of Benhadad, 2-Kings 13:25, but the word "his" should be inserted for it as to be understood of the days of Jehoahaz, see 2-Kings 13:22.
