2 Kings 13:5-7
New Living Translation
5 So the Lord provided someone to rescue the Israelites from the tyranny of the Arameans. Then Israel lived in safety again as they had in former days.
6 But they continued to sin, following the evil example of Jeroboam. They also allowed the Asherah pole in Samaria to remain standing. 7 Finally, Jehoahaz’s army was reduced to 50 charioteers, 10 chariots, and 10,000 foot soldiers. The king of Aram had killed the others, trampling them like dust under his feet.

2 Kings 13:5-7
New International Version
5 The Lord provided a deliverer(A) for Israel, and they escaped from the power of Aram. So the Israelites lived in their own homes as they had before. 6 But they did not turn away from the sins(B) of the house of Jeroboam, which he had caused Israel to commit; they continued in them. Also, the Asherah pole[a](C) remained standing in Samaria.
7 Nothing had been left(D) of the army of Jehoahaz except fifty horsemen, ten chariots and ten thousand foot soldiers, for the king of Aram had destroyed the rest and made them like the dust(E) at threshing time.
