4. Hazael . . . Ben-hadad —A black marble obelisk found in the central palace of Nimroud, and now in the British Museum, is inscribed with the names of Hazael and Ben-hadad of Syria, as well as Jehu of Israel, mentioned as tributaries of "Shalmanubar," king of Assyria. The kind of tribute from Jehu is mentioned: gold, pearls, precious oil, c. [G. V. SMITH]. The Ben-hadad here is the son of Hazael ( 2 Kings 13:3 ), not the Ben-hadad supplanted and slain by Hazael ( 2 Kings 8:7 2 Kings 8:15 ). The phrase, "I will send a fire," that is, the flame of war ( 2 Kings 8:15- : ), occurs also in Amos 1:7 ; Amos 1:10 ; Amos 1:12 ; Amos 1:14 ; Amos 2:2 ; Amos 2:5 ; Jeremiah 49:27 ; Hosea 8:14 . return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-5" class="com-number"
