Joash (son of Jehoahaz)
요아스 (여호아하스의 아들)
Named at 2 Kings 13:9: “Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria; and Joash his son reigned in his place.” 13:10–11 says, “In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah, Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz began to reign over Israel in Samaria for sixteen years. He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight. He didn’t depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; but he walked in them.” 13:12–13 names the rest of the acts of Joash and “his might with which he fought against Amaziah king of Judah”, and says, “Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat on his throne. Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.” At 13:14, when Elisha became sick with the illness of which he died, Joash the king of Israel came down to him, and wept over him, and said, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” At 13:15–19 Elisha says to him, “Take bow and arrows”, and he takes bow and arrows; Elisha says, “Shoot!”, and he shoots; and when he is told, “Strike the ground”, he strikes three times, and stops, and the man of God is angry with him, and says, “You should have struck five or six times. Then you would have struck Syria until you had consumed it, but now you will strike Syria just three times.” 13:25 says, “Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Joash struck him three times, and recovered the cities of Israel.” The Korean Revised Version names the king 요아스 (Joash) throughout; at 13:25 it reads 두어 성읍, a few cities, which 자기 부친 여호아하스가 전쟁 중에 빼앗겼던 것이라, his father Jehoahaz had lost in the war. 2 Kings 14:8 says that Amaziah sent messengers “to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, ‘Come, let’s look one another in the face.’” 14:9–10 says that Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as wife.’ Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by, and trampled down the thistle. You have indeed struck Edom, and your heart has lifted you up. Enjoy the glory of it, and stay at home; for why should you meddle to your harm, that you fall, even you, and Judah with you?” 14:11–14 says that when Amaziah would not listen, Jehoash king of Israel went up; that he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah; and that Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah at Beth Shemesh, broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits, took all the gold and silver and all the vessels that were found in the LORD’s house and in the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria. 14:15–16 speaks of the rest of the acts of Jehoash, his might, “and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah”, and says, “Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his place.” The Korean Revised Version writes 요아스, Joash, in these verses.

20But Amaziah would not listen; for it was of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they had sought after the gods of Edom.

1In the twenty-third year of Joash the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria for seventeen years.
2He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin. He didn’t depart from it.
3The LORD’s anger burned against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, continually.
4Jehoahaz begged the LORD, and the LORD listened to him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, how the king of Syria oppressed them.
5(The LORD gave Israel a savior, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians; and the children of Israel lived in their tents as before.
6Nevertheless they didn’t depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel to sin, but walked in them; and the Asherah also remained in Samaria.)
7For he didn’t leave to Jehoahaz of the people any more than fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria destroyed them and made them like the dust in threshing.
8Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

17He said, “Open the window eastward;” and he opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot!” and he shot. He said, “The LORD’s arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Syria; for you will strike the Syrians in Aphek until you have consumed them.”

24Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his place.
