2 Kings 13:22-25

The chapter closes with a double aspect, Israel's unworthiness, and the Lord's grace and favor. Oh! dearest Jesus! how doth thy great, thy glorious salvation shine more conspicuously blessed, when beheld over the view of man's undeservings! Surely everything in redemption-work loudly proclaims that sovereign truth, where sin abounded, grace doth much more abound; that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might, grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life, by Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 5:20-21 .
