Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Kings 13:4

_ _ he saw the oppression of Israel — that is, commiserated the fallen condition of His chosen people. The divine honor and the interests of true religion required that deliverance should be granted them to check the triumph of the idolatrous enemy and put an end to their blasphemous taunts that God had forsaken Israel (Deuteronomy 32:27; Psalms 12:4).

Matthew Henry's Commentary
