2 Královská 13:23

A milostiv jsa jim Hospodin, slitoval se nad nimi, a popatřil na ně, pro smlouvu svou s Abrahamem, s Izákem a s Jákobem, a nechtěl jich zahladiti, aniž zavrhl jich od tváři své až do tohoto času.

And the LORD was gracious unto them, and had compassion on them, and had respect unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet.
