2 Kings 13:14–19

¹⁴And Elisha hath been sick with his sickness in which he dieth, and come down unto him doth Joash king of Israel, and weepeth on his face, and saith, ‘My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and its horsemen.’ ¹⁵And Elisha saith to him, ‘Take bow and arrows:’ and he taketh unto him bow and arrows. ¹⁶And he saith to the king of Israel, ‘Place thy hand on the bow;’ and he placeth his hand, and Elisha putteth his hands on the hands of the king, ¹⁷and saith, ‘Open the window eastward;’ and he openeth, and Elisha saith, ‘Shoot,’ and he shooteth; and he saith, ‘An arrow of salvation to Jehovah, and an arrow of salvation against Aram, and thou hast smitten Aram, in Aphek, till consuming.’ ¹⁸And he saith, ‘Take the arrows,’ and he taketh; and he saith to the king of Israel, ‘Smite to the earth;’ and he smiteth three times, and stayeth. ¹⁹And the man of God is wroth against him, and saith, ‘By smiting five or six times then thou hadst smitten Aram till consuming; and now, three times thou dost smite Aram.’
