In 2 Kings 13, we encounter the reigns of Jehoahaz and Jehoash in Israel. Despite continued idolatry and spiritual decline, God shows surprising mercy because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We see: • Israel's oppression under Syria and God's compassionate response (vv. 1–9) • The reign of Jehoash and his limited victories (vv. 10–13) • Elisha's final prophecy and death (vv. 14–19) • A resurrection miracle at Elisha's tomb (vv. 20–21) • God's covenant faithfulness in delivering Israel (vv. 22–25) 🔑 Key Themes: • God's mercy despite sin • The danger of half-hearted obedience • God's power beyond death • His covenant faithfulness in Christ 📖 Memory Verse: 2 Kings 13:23 – "But the Lord was gracious to them and had compassion on them, and He turned toward them, because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, nor has He cast them from His presence until now."
