2 Kings 13:16-25

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 1defeatH5221 the ArameansH758 at 2AphekH663 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 3stoppedH5975. 19Then 4the 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 5only threeH7969 timesH6471.”

20And ElishaH477 diedH4191, and they buriedH6912 him. Now 6the maraudingH1416 bandsH1416 of the MoabitesH4124 would invadeH935 the landH776 7in the springH935 of the yearH8141. 21And as they were buryingH6912 a manH376, beholdH2009, they sawH7200 a maraudingH1416 bandH1416; and they threwH7993 the manH376 into the graveH6913 of ElishaH477. And when the manH376 8touchedH5060 the bonesH6106 of ElishaH477 he 9revivedH2421 and stoodH6965 upH6965 on his feetH7272.

22Now 10HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of AramH758 had oppressedH3905 IsraelH3478 allH3605 the daysH3117 of JehoahazH3059. 23But the 11LordH3068 wasH2603 graciousH2603 to them and 12hadH7355 compassionH7355 onH7355 them and turnedH6437 to them becauseH4616 of 13His covenantH1285 with AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and JacobH3290; and He was unwillingH3808H14 to eliminateH7843 them or castH7993 them awayH7993 from His presenceH6440 untilH5704 nowH6258.

24When HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of AramH758 diedH4191, his sonH1121 Ben-hadadH1130 becameH4427 kingH4427 inH8478 his placeH8478. 25Then 14JehoashH3060 the sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059 againH7725 tookH3947 from the handH3027 of Ben-hadadH1130 the sonH1121 of HazaelH2371 the citiesH5892 whichH834 he had takenH3947 in warH4421 from the handH3027 of his fatherH1 JehoahazH3059. 15ThreeH7969 timesH6471 JoashH3060 16defeatedH5221 him and recoveredH7725 the citiesH5892 of IsraelH3478.
