And Jehoahaz besought Jehovah, and Jehovah hearkened unto him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, how that the king of Syria oppressed them.

Then Jehoahaz made prayer to the Lord, and the Lord gave ear to him, for he saw how cruelly Israel was crushed by the king of Aram.

Και εδεηθη του Κυριου ο Ιωαχαζ, και επηκουσεν αυτου ο Κυριος· διοτι ειδε την θλιψιν του Ισραηλ, οτι ο βασιλευς της Συριας κατεθλιβεν αυτους.

And Jehoahaz besought the Lord, and the Lord hearkened unto him: for he saw the oppression of Israel, because the king of Syria oppressed them.
