2 Kings 13:14-20

14When Elisha 1became sick with the illness of which he was to die, Joash the king of Israel came down to him, and wept over 2him and said, “3My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” 15And Elisha said to him, “Take a bow and arrows.” So he 4took a bow and arrows. 16Then Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Lay your hand on the bow.” And he laid his hand on it, then Elisha put his hands on the king’s hands. 17And he said, “Open the window toward the east,” and he opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot!” So he shot. And he said, “The Lord’s arrow of victory, and the arrow of victory over Aram; for you will 5defeat the Arameans at 6Aphek until you have put an end to them.” 18Then he said, “Take the arrows,” and he took them. And he said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground,” and he struck it three times and 7stopped. 19Then 8the man of God became angry at him and said, “You should have struck five or six times, then you would have struck Aram until you put an end to it. But now you shall strike Aram 9only three times.”

20And Elisha died, and they buried him. Now 10the marauding bands of the Moabites would invade the land 11in the spring of the year.
