Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 2 Kings 13:24
So Hazael king of Syria died; and Ben-hadad his son reigned in his stead.
24. Ben-hadad his son ] Hazael has given to his son the name which had previously been common in the Syrian royal family. This is the third Ben-hadad on the throne of Damascus. (Cf. Schrader, p. 109.) Nothing is known of him from the inscriptions.

So Hazael … died – literally, And Hazael died, a fact not mentioned before.

So Hazael the king of Syria died, and Benhadad his son reigned in his stead. This was Benhadad the third; the first of this name was of the Damascene kings; but though the kingdom was now in another family, yet this name, being respectable with the Syrians, was retained in it.

(24) Ben-hadadIII., not mentioned in the As Syrian inscriptions. His reign synchronises with that of Samas-Rimmon in Assyria, who made no expeditions to the West (B.C. 825-812). The name Ben-hadad does not, of course, signify any connection with the dynasty overthrown by Hazael. It was a Divine title (Comp. Note on 2Ki. 6:24.)
Benhadad was probably a feebler sovereign than Hazael. The rule, Fortes creantur fortibus et bonis, is perhaps as often contradicted as corroborated by actual experience.

24. Hazael died This was the beginning of deliverance, for the death of this fierce warrior removed from Israel a source of constant terror. All the evil which Elisha foresaw he would do to Israel (see note on 2Ki 8:12) had doubtless been done.
