Obwohl die Judäer in der Überzahl waren, ließ der Herr die Syrer siegen, denn Juda hatte den Herrn, den Gott seiner Vorfahren, verlassen. So vollstreckten die Syrer an Joasch das Urteil Gottes,
亚兰的军兵,虽来了一小队,耶和华却将大队的军兵交在他们手里,是因犹大人离弃耶和华他们列祖的 神,所以藉亚兰人惩罚约阿施。
For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men, and the LORD delivered a very great host into their hand, because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers. So they executed judgment against Joash.
