2 Kings 13:15-18
15And Elisha said to him, “Take a bow and arrows.” So he 1took 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 2defeat the Arameans at 3Aphek 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 4stopped.
