[159]
NOW Hazael, king of Syria, fought against the Israelites and their
king Jehu, and spoiled the eastern parts of the country beyond Jordan,
which belonged to the Reubenites and Gadites, and to [the half tribe of]
Manassites; as also Gilead and Bashan, burning, and spoiling, and offering
violence to all that he laid his hands on, and this without impeachment
from Jehu, who made no haste to defend the country when it was under this
distress; nay, he was become a contemner of religion, and a despiser of
holiness, and of the laws, and died when he had reigned over the Israelites
twenty-seven years. He was buried in Samaria, and left Jehoahaz his son
his successor in the government.
