2KI-13:1 In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of
Ahaziah king of Judah Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign
over Israel in Samaria, [and reigned] seventeen years.
2KI-13:2 And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the
LORD, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which
made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.
2KI-13:3 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel,
and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and
into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, all [their] days.
2KI-13:4 And Jehoahaz besought the LORD, and the LORD hearkened
unto him: for he saw the oppression of Israel, because the king
of Syria oppressed them.
2KI-13:5 (And the LORD gave Israel a saviour, so that they went
out from under the hand of the Syrians: and the children of
Israel dwelt in their tents, as beforetime.
2KI-13:6 Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the
house of Jeroboam, who made Israel sin, [but] walked therein:
and there remained the grove also in Samaria.)
2KI-13:7 Neither did he leave of the people to Jehoahaz but
fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for
the king of Syria had destroyed them, and had made them like the
dust by threshing.
2KI-13:8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he
did, and his might, [are] they not written in the book of the
chronicles of the kings of Israel?
2KI-13:9 And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried
him in Samaria: and Joash his son reigned in his stead.
2KI-13:10 In the thirty and seventh year of Joash king of Judah
began Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz to reign over Israel in
Samaria, [and reigned] sixteen years.
2KI-13:11 And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the
LORD; he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of
Nebat, who made Israel sin: [but] he walked therein.
2KI-13:12 And the rest of the acts 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?
2KI-13:13 And Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat
upon his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings
of Israel.
2KI-13:14 Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he
died. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept
over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of
Israel, and the horsemen thereof.
2KI-13:15 And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows. And he
took unto him bow and arrows.
2KI-13:16 And he said to the king of Israel, Put thine hand upon
the bow. And he put his hand [upon it]: and Elisha put his hands
upon the king's hands.
2KI-13:17 And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened
[it]. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The
arrow of the LORD'S deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance
from Syria: for thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou
have consumed [them].
2KI-13:18 And he said, Take the arrows. And he took [them]. And
he said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he
smote thrice, and stayed.
2KI-13:19 And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou
shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou
smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed [it]: whereas now thou
shalt smite Syria [but] thrice.
2KI-13:20 And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of
the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
2KI-13:21 And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that,
behold, they spied a band [of men]; and they cast the man into
the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and
touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his
feet.
2KI-13:22 But Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days
of Jehoahaz.
2KI-13:23 And the LORD was gracious unto them, and had
compassion on them, and had respect unto them, because of his
covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy
them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet.
2KI-13:24 So Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son
reigned in his stead.
2KI-13:25 And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the
hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities, which he had
taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Three times
did Joash beat him, and recovered the cities of Israel.
