2 Kings 13:14-20

14When ElishaH477 had fallen sickH2470 with the illnessH2483 from whichH834 he would dieH4191, JehoashH3101 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 came downH3381 to himH413 and weptH1058 overH5921 himH6440, sayingH559, “My fatherH1, my fatherH1, the chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571 of IsraelH3478!”

15ElishaH477 toldH559 him, “TakeH3947 a bowH7198 and some arrowsH2671.”

So Jehoash tookH3947H413 a bowH7198 and some arrowsH2671.

16Then Elisha saidH559 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, “PutH7392 your handH3027 onH5921 the bowH7198.”

So the king putH7392 his hand onH3027 the bow, and ElishaH477 putH7760 his handsH3027 onH5921 the king’sH4428 handsH3027.

17“OpenH6605 the eastH6924 windowH2474,” said ElishaH559.

So he openedH6605 it and ElishaH477 saidH559, “ShootH3384!” So he shotH3384.

And Elisha declaredH559:

“This is the LORD’sH3068 arrowH2671 of victoryH8668,the arrowH2671 of victoryH8668 over AramH758,for you shall strikeH5221 the ArameansH758 in AphekH663untilH5704 you have put an end to themH3615.”

18Then Elisha saidH559, “TakeH3947 the arrowsH2671!”

So he tookH3947 them, and Elisha saidH559 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, “StrikeH5221 the groundH776!”

So he struckH5221 the ground threeH7969 timesH6471 and stoppedH5975.

19But the manH376 of GodH430 was angryH7107 with himH5921 and saidH559, “You should have struckH5221 the ground fiveH2568 orH176 sixH8337 timesH6471. ThenH227 you would have struck downH5221 AramH758 untilH5704 you had put an end to itH3615. But nowH6258 you will strike downH5221 AramH758 only threeH7969 timesH6471.”

20And ElishaH477 diedH4191 and was buriedH6912.

Now the MoabiteH4124 raidersH1416 used to comeH935 into the landH776 every springH935H8141.1
