King living at the time of Divided Monarchy
Hazael, king of Aram, was anointed by Elijah and fought against Israel and Judah. (1Ki.19.15,17; 2Ki.8.8-15, 28-29; 9.14-15; 10.32; 12.17-18; 13.3,22,24-25; 2Ch.22.5-6; Amo.1.4)
- A king in Syria living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 1Ki.19.15;
- only referred to as Hazael חֲזָאֵל;
- father of Ben-hadad בֶּן־הֲדַד.
Hazael was the king of Aram (Syria) during the reigns of Jehoram, Jehu, Jehoahaz, and Jehoash of Israel, and Ahaziah and Joash of Judah. He was anointed by the prophet Elijah as the future king of Aram (1 Kings 19:15, 17). Hazael became king after the death of Ben-Hadad II, whom he had murdered (2 Kings 8:15). During his reign, Hazael fought against Israel and Judah, capturing cities and inflicting heavy casualties (2 Kings 8:28-29; 9:14-15; 10:32; 12:17-18; 13:3, 22). He also oppressed Israel during the reign of Jehoahaz (2 Kings 13:3, 22). However, Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, recaptured some cities from Hazael's son, Ben-Hadad III (2 Kings 13:24-25). The prophet Amos prophesied against Hazael and his dynasty for their cruelty against Israel (Amos 1:4).
