It tells about the war that he fought against Amaziah, king of Judah Jehoash died and they buried him in Samaria beside the other kings of Israel. Jeroboam became king of Israel after him. 14When Jehoash was still king of Israel, Elisha became very ill. It was the illness from which he would soon die. Jehoash went to visit him. Jehoash stood beside Elisha and he wept. Jehoash said, ‘My father! My father! You are riding in Israel's chariot! Israel's men are riding on the horses!’ 15Elisha said to King Jehoash, ‘Fetch a bow and some arrows.’ The king did that.
