rotherham - 2Kings:13:10-25

rotherham@2Kings:13:10 @ In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah, began Jehoash son of Jehoahaz to reign over Israel, in Samaria, sixteen years.

rotherham@2Kings:13:11 @ And he did that which was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, he turned not away from all the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he caused, Israel, to commit, therein, he walked.

rotherham@2Kings:13:12 @ Now, the rest of the story of Joash, and all that he did, and his might, wherewith he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

rotherham@2Kings:13:13 @ So then Joash slept with his fathers, and, Jeroboam, took his seat on his throne, and Joash was buried in Samaria, with the kings of Israel.

rotherham@2Kings:13:14 @ Now, Elisha, had fallen sick of his sickness whereof he was about to die, so then Joash king of Israel came down unto him, and wept upon his face, and said, My father! my father! The chariots of Israel and the horsemen thereof!

rotherham@2Kings:13:15 @ And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows. So he took unto him bow and arrows.

rotherham@2Kings:13:16 @ Then said he unto the king of Israel, Let thy hand rest upon the bow. So he let his hand rest thereon. Then Elisha put his own hands upon the hands of the king;

rotherham@2Kings:13:17 @ and said Open the lattice eastward. And he opened it. Then said Elisha Shoot! And he shot. Then he said, The arrow of victory by Yahweh, yea the arrow of victory over Syria, therefore shalt thou smite Syria in Aphek, till it be consumed.

rotherham@2Kings:13:18 @ And he said Take the arrows. So he took them. Then said he unto the king of Israel Smite unto the ground. So he smote three times, and then stayed.

rotherham@2Kings:13:19 @ Then was the man of God wroth against him, and said Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times, then, hadst thou smitten Syria, until it had been consumed; But, now, three times, shalt thou smite Syria.

rotherham@2Kings:13:20 @ And Elisha died, and they buried him, now, troops of Moabites, used to enter the land, at the coming in of the year;

rotherham@2Kings:13:21 @ and it came to pass, as, they, were burying a man, that, lo! they saw a troop, so they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha, and, as soon as the man touched the bones of Elisha, he came to life again, and rose up on his feet.

rotherham@2Kings:13:22 @ And, Hazael king of Syria, had oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.

rotherham@2Kings:13:23 @ Then was Yahweh gracious unto them, and had compassion upon them, and turned unto them, for the sake of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and was not willing to destroy them, nor to cast them off from his presence, as yet.

rotherham@2Kings:13:24 @ So then Hazael king of Syria died; and, Ben-hadad his son, reigned, in his stead.

rotherham@2Kings:13:25 @ And Jehoash son of Jehoahaz again took the cities out of the hand of Ben-hadad son of Hazael, which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father, in war, three times, did Joash smite him, and recover the cities of Israel.
