2 Kings 13:14-25

14Now ElishaH477 was fallenH3381 sickH2470 of his sicknessH2483 whereof he diedH4191: and JoashH3101 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 cameH3381 downH3381 unto him, and weptH1058 over him, and saidH559, My fatherH1, my fatherH1, the chariotsH7393 of IsraelH3478 and the horsemenH6571 thereof! 15And ElishaH477 saidH559 unto him, TakeH3947 bowH7198 and arrowsH2671: and he tookH3947 unto him bowH7198 and arrowsH2671. 16And he saidH559 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, PutH7760 thine handH3027 uponH5921 the bowH7198: and he putH7760 his handH3027 uponH5921 it. And ElishaH477 laidH7760 his handsH3027 uponH5921 the king’sH4428 handsH3027. 17And he saidH559, OpenH6605 the windowH2474 eastwardH6924: and he openedH6605 it. Then ElishaH477 saidH559, ShootH3384: and he shotH3384. And he saidH559, The LORD’SH3068 arrowH2671 of victoryH8668, evenH5704 the arrowH2671 of victoryH8668 over SyriaH758: for thou shalt smiteH5221 the Syrians in AphekH663, tillH5704 thou have consumedH3615 them. 18And he saidH559, TakeH3947 the arrowsH2678: and he tookH3947 them. And he saidH559 unto the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, SmiteH5221 upon the groundH776: and he smoteH5221 thrice, and stayedH5975. 19And the manH376 of GodH430 was wroth with him, and saidH559, Thou shouldest have smittenH5221 fiveH2568 or sixH8337 timesH6471; then hadst thou smittenH5221 SyriaH758 tillH5704 thou hadst consumedH3615 it: whereasH6258 nowH6258 thou shalt smiteH5221 SyriaH758 but thrice. 20And ElishaH477 diedH4191, and they buriedH6912 him. NowH935 the hands of the MoabitesH4124 invadedH935 the landH776 at the comingH935 in of the yearH8141. 21And it cameH1961 to passH1961, as they were buryingH6912 a manH376, that, beholdH2009, they spied a bandH1416; and they castH7993 the manH376 intoH5921 the sepulchre of ElishaH477: and as soon as the manH376 touchedH5060 the bonesH6106 of ElishaH477, he revivedH2421, and stoodH6965 upH6965 on his feetH7272. 22And HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758 oppressedH3905 IsraelH3478 allH3605 the daysH3117 of JehoahazH3059. 23But the LORDH3068 was gracious unto them, and had compassionH7355 on them, and had respectH6437 unto them, becauseH5921 of his covenantH1285 with AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and JacobH3290, and would notH3808 destroyH7843 them, neitherH3808 castH7993 he them from his presenceH6440 as yet. 24And HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758 diedH4191; and Ben-hadadH1130 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his steadH8478. 25And JehoashH3060 the sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059 tookH3947 againH7725 outH3027 of the handH3027 of Ben-hadadH1130 the sonH1121 of HazaelH2371 the citiesH5892 whichH834 he had takenH3947 outH3027 of the handH3027 of JehoahazH3059 his fatherH1 by warH4421. ThreeH7969 timesH6471 didH834 JoashH3060 smiteH5221 him; and recoveredH7725 the citiesH5892 of IsraelH3478.
