2 Kings 13:8-25

8Now as for the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JehoahazH3059, and allH3605 that he didH6213 and his mightH1369, are they not writtenH3789 in the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of IsraelH3478? 9And JehoahazH3059 1layH7901 downH7901 with his fathersH1, and they buriedH6912 him in SamariaH8111; and his sonH1121 JoashH3060 becameH4427 kingH4427 inH8478 his placeH8478.

10In the thirty-seventhH7970H7651 yearH8141 of JoashH3060 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, 2JehoashH3060 the sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059 becameH4427 kingH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111, and he reigned for sixteenH8337H6240 yearsH8141. 11He didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068; he did not turnH5493 awayH5493 from allH3605 the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, into whichH834 he misledH2398 IsraelH3478; rather, he walkedH1980 in 3them. 124Now as for the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JoashH3060 and allH3605 that he didH6213, and his mightH1369 with whichH834 he foughtH3898 againstH5973 AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, are they not writtenH3789 in the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of IsraelH3478? 13So JoashH3060 5layH7901 downH7901 with his fathersH1, and JeroboamH3379 satH3427 on his throneH3678; and JoashH3060 was buriedH6912 in SamariaH8111 with the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478.

14When ElishaH477 6becameH2470 sickH2470 with the illnessH2483 of whichH834 he was to dieH4191, JoashH3060 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 cameH3381 downH3381 to him, and weptH1058 overH5921 7him and saidH559, “8My fatherH1, my fatherH1, the chariotsH7393 of IsraelH3478 and its horsemenH6571!” 15And ElishaH477 saidH559 to him, “TakeH3947 a bowH7198 and arrowsH2671.” So he 9tookH3947 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 10defeatH5221 the ArameansH758 at 11AphekH663 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 12stoppedH5975. 19Then 13the 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 14only threeH7969 timesH6471.”

20And ElishaH477 diedH4191, and they buriedH6912 him. Now 15the maraudingH1416 bandsH1416 of the MoabitesH4124 would invadeH935 the landH776 16in 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 17touchedH5060 the bonesH6106 of ElishaH477 he 18revivedH2421 and stoodH6965 upH6965 on his feetH7272.

22Now 19HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of AramH758 had oppressedH3905 IsraelH3478 allH3605 the daysH3117 of JehoahazH3059. 23But the 20LordH3068 wasH2603 graciousH2603 to them and 21hadH7355 compassionH7355 onH7355 them and turnedH6437 to them becauseH4616 of 22His 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 23JehoashH3060 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. 24ThreeH7969 timesH6471 JoashH3060 25defeatedH5221 him and recoveredH7725 the citiesH5892 of IsraelH3478.
