*
In the thirty seventh year of Joash the king of Judah ,
Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz reigned over Israel ,
in Samaria ,
sixteen years .
*
And he did the evil in the eyes of Jehovah ;
he did not turn aside from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat ,
who caused Israel to sin ;
he walked in it .
*
And the rest of the acts of Joash ,
and all that he did ,
and his might with which he fought with Amaziah the king of Judah ,
are they not written in the Book of the Matters of the Days of the Kings of Israel ?
*
And Joash lay with his fathers ;
and Jeroboam sat on his throne ;
and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel .
*
And Elisha had become sick with his illness in which he died ;
and Joash the king of Israel came down to him ,
and wept on his face ,
and said ,
My father ,
my father ,
the chariot of Israel ,
and its horsemen !
*
And Elisha said to him ,
Take bow and arrows .
And he took bow and arrows to himself .
*
And he said to the king of Israel ,
Cause your hand to ride on the bow .
And he caused his hand to ride .
And Elisha placed his hand on the hands of the king ,
*
and said ,
Open the window eastward .
And he opened .
And Elisha said ,
Shoot .
And he shot .
And he said ,
The arrow of deliverance of Jehovah ,
and the arrow of deliverance from Syria ;
for you shall strike the Syrians in Aphek ,
until it is finished .
*
And he said ,
Take the arrows .
And he took them up .
And he said to the king of Israel ,
Strike the earth .
And he struck three times ,
and stopped .
*
And the man of God was angry with him ,
and said ,
By striking five or six times ,
then you would have stricken Syria until it was finished ;
but now ,
you shall strike Syria three times .
*
And Elisha died ,
and they buried him .
And the bands of Moab came into the land ,
at the beginning of the year ;
*
and it happened ,
they were burying a man ;
and ,
behold ,
they saw the band ,
and threw the man into the grave of Elisha .
And the man fell and touched the bones of Elisha ,
and came alive ,
and rose on his feet .
*
And Hazael the king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz .
*
And Jehovah was gracious to them ,
and pitied them ,
and turned toward them ,
for the sake of His covenant with Abraham ,
Isaac ,
and Jacob ,
and was not willing to destroy them ,
nor to cast them out from His presence as yet .
*
And Hazael the king of Syria died ,
and his son Ben-hadad reigned in his place .
*
And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz returned and took the cities out of the hand of Ben-hadad the son of Hazael that he had taken out of the hand of his father Jehoahaz in battle .
Jehoash struck him three times ,
and he brought back the cities of Israel .
