Verses related to 2 Kings, 13:

Chapter 13 of 2 Kings narrates the final story of King Jehoes of Israel, which is described as a leader who has done evil before the Lord. During his reign, he asks the prophet Elisha for help to overcome a battle against the Syrians, but even so, he cannot ward off Israel from idolatry. Below are five Bible verses that relate to the topics addressed in 2 Kings 13:

Psalm 106:34-35: "They did not destroy the peoples, as the Lord had commanded them, but mingled with the nations and learned their customs. They served their idols, who became a bond for them." This verse talks about how the mix with other nations and idolatry became a problem for Israel, which did not obey God's commandments.

Isaiah 31:1: "Woe to those who descend to Egypt in search of help, who trust horses, who put their trust in crowds of car and knights, because they are so many and horses, because they are very strong, but do not look at The saint of Israel, do not even seek the Lord! " This verse talks about Israel's tendency to seek help elsewhere rather than trusting God.

Jeremiah 10:2: "Thus saith the Lord, Do not learn the path of nations, nor are you scary from the signs of heaven, even if the nations fear them." This verse talks about the need to obey God's commandments and not follow the ways of pagan nations.

Hosea 4:17: "Ephraim is united with idols; leave it." This verse talks about how Ephraim, which is often used as an alternative name for Israel, has joined idols, and therefore God left them.

Amos 5:14: "Seek good and not evil, that you may live, and so the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you, as you said." This verse talks about the importance of doing good instead of evil and following God's will. It reflects the theme of 2 Kings 13, which shows how idolatry and disobedience resulted in problems for Israel.
