The answer i have come to.
God repayed what was done to them, God was brutal, but the people back then were brutal also.
A good example of this is the book of esther. Where the general tried to wipe out all the jews, and what the general planned to do to them, was done to him instead. I suggest reading it.
Other then that....
8Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction,
happy is the one who repays you
according to what you have done to us.
9Happy is the one who seizes your infants
and dashes them against the rocks.
An example of what was done to Israel and an example of repayment. What was do to us.
Then said Samuel, “Bring ye hither to me Agag, the king of the Amalekites.” And Agag came unto him charily; and Agag said, “Surely the bitterness of death is past.”
33 And Samuel said, “As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women.” And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the Lord in Gilgal.
Another example
This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. 3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”
I cant find any verses relating to what exactly happened in the wilderness, but again related to repayment.
My guess is, in order to have a fuller understanding of what happened to Israel in those times, you would have to find and go through the book thats mentioned. Which seems to be a book outside the bible, where everything each king did, is written, during the history of Israel.
Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
