2 Kings 3:3Contemporary English Version 1995But he kept doing the sinful things that Jeroboam son of Nebat had led Israel to do. See the chapter |
But Hazael had defeated Israel's army so badly that Jehoahaz had only 10 chariots, 50 cavalry troops, and 10,000 regular soldiers left in his army. The Israelites kept sinning and following the example of Jeroboam's family. They did not tear down the sacred poles that had been set up in Samaria for the worship of the goddess Asherah.
