This site's exposition
the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz
on 2 Kings 13:8-9
The text spends no more ink on a king who prayed once and reformed nothing. Joash his son succeeds him, the deliverer promised at verse 5 not yet named but already on the throne. The pattern holds across the whole book: mercy is granted, and the throne passes on unchanged.
This site's exposition
was buried in Samaria
John Gill counted Jehoahaz among the kings of Israel buried in Samaria from Omri on. The son who succeeds him, Jehoash, receives only a short account in the verses that follow, in Gill's words. He is the third generation of Jehu's line on the throne.
