2 Kings 13:14-19
14When ElishaH477 1becameH2470 sickH2470 with the illnessH2483 of whichH834 he was to dieH4191, JoashH3060 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 cameH3381 downH3381 to him, and weptH1058 overH5921 2him and saidH559, “3My fatherH1, my fatherH1, the chariotsH7393 of IsraelH3478 and its horsemenH6571!” 15And ElishaH477 saidH559 to him, “TakeH3947 a bowH7198 and arrowsH2671.” So he 4tookH3947 a bowH7198 and arrowsH2671. 16Then Elisha saidH559 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, “LayH7392 your handH3027 on the bowH7198.” And he laidH7392 his handH3027 on it, then ElishaH477 putH7760 his handsH3027 on the king’sH4428 handsH3027. 17And he saidH559, “OpenH6605 the windowH2474 toward the eastH6924,” and he openedH6605 it. Then ElishaH477 saidH559, “ShootH3384!” So he shotH3384. And he saidH559, “The Lord’sH3068 arrowH2671 of victoryH8668, and the arrowH2671 of victoryH8668 over AramH758; for you will 5defeatH5221 the ArameansH758 at 6AphekH663 untilH5704 you have putH3615 anH3615 endH3615 to them.” 18Then he saidH559, “TakeH3947 the arrowsH2671,” and he tookH3947 them. And he saidH559 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, “StrikeH5221 the groundH776,” and he struckH5221 it threeH7969 timesH6471 and 7stoppedH5975. 19Then 8the manH376 of GodH430 becameH7107 angryH7107 at him and saidH559, “You should have struckH5221 fiveH2568 orH176 sixH8337 timesH6471, thenH227 you would have struckH5221 AramH758 untilH5704 you putH3615 anH3615 endH3615 to it. But nowH6258 you shall strikeH5221 AramH758 9only threeH7969 timesH6471.”
