Here is what the Lord says about Damascus. He says,“ The people of Hamath and Arpad are terrified. They have heard bad news. They have lost all hope. They are troubled like the rolling sea.

Concerning Damascus:“ Hamath and Arpad are confounded, for they have heard bad news; they melt in fear, they are troubled like the sea that cannot be quiet.

The LORD spoke about Damascus.“ The people of Hamath and Arpad will be dismayed because they have heard bad news. Their courage will melt away because of worry. Their hearts will not be able to rest.

We destroyed Calno just as we did Carchemish. Hamath fell before us as Arpad did. And we destroyed Samaria just as we did Damascus.

What happened to the gods of Hamath and Arpad? And what about the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah? Did any god rescue Samaria from my power?

“ But those who still reject me are like the restless sea, which is never still but continually churns up mud and dirt.

There he divided his men and attacked during the night. Kedorlaomer’s army fled, but Abram chased them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus.

But Abram replied,“ O Sovereign Lord, what good are all your blessings when I don’t even have a son? Since you’ve given me no children, Eliezer of Damascus, a servant in my household, will inherit all my wealth.

Soon the city is plundered, empty, and ruined. Hearts melt and knees shake. The people stand aghast, their faces pale and trembling.

So they went up and explored the land from the wilderness of Zin as far as Rehob, near Lebo hamath.

Every arm is paralyzed with fear. Every heart melts,

Asa responded by removing the silver and gold from the treasuries of the Temple of the Lord and the royal palace. He sent it to King Ben hadad of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus, along with this message:

No wonder our hearts have melted in fear! No one has the courage to fight after hearing such things. For the Lord your God is the supreme God of the heavens above and the earth below.

In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to bring back the remnant of his people— those who remain in Assyria and northern Egypt; in southern Egypt, Ethiopia, and Elam; in Babylonia, Hamath, and all the distant coastlands.

The king of Assyria transported groups of people from Babylon, Cuthah, Avva, Hamath, and Sepharvaim and resettled them in the towns of Samaria, replacing the people of Israel. They took possession of Samaria and lived in its towns.

What happened to the king of Hamath and the king of Arpad? What happened to the kings of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?”

When I was in Damascus, the governor under King Aretas kept guards at the city gates to catch me.

This is what the Lord says:“ The people of Damascus have sinned again and again, and I will not let them go unpunished! They beat down my people in Gilead as grain is threshed with iron sledges.So I will send down fire on King Hazael’s palace, and the fortresses of King Ben hadad will be destroyed.I will break down the gates of Damascus and slaughter the people in the valley of Aven. I will destroy the ruler in Beth eden, and the people of Aram will go as captives to Kir,” says the Lord.

Then even the bravest soldiers, though they have the heart of a lion, will be paralyzed with fear. For all Israel knows what a mighty warrior your father is and how courageous his men are.

This message came to me concerning Damascus:“ Look, the city of Damascus will disappear! It will become a heap of ruins.The towns of Aroer will be deserted. Flocks will graze in the streets and lie down undisturbed, with no one to chase them away.The fortified towns of Israel will also be destroyed, and the royal power of Damascus will end.
