2 Kings 13

Kings of Israel: Jehoahaz and Jehoash

1

In the twenty-thirdh6242h7969 yearh8141 of Joashh3060 the sonh1121 of Ahaziahh274, kingh4428 of Judahh3063, Jehoahazh3059 the sonh1121 of Jehuh3058 becameh4427a kingh4427a overh5921 Israelh3478 at Samariah8111, and he reigned seventeenh7651h6240 yearsh8141.

2

He didh6213a evilh7451a in the sighth5869 of the LORDh3068, and followedh1980h310 the sinsh2403b of Jeroboamh3379 the sonh1121 of Nebath5028,  awith whichh834 he made Israelh3478 sinh2398; he did not turnh5493 from them.

3

 aSo the angerh639 of the LORDh3068 was kindledh2734 against Israelh3478, and He gaveh5414 them continuallyh3605h3117 into the handh3027 of  bHazaelh2371 kingh4428 of Aramh758, and into the handh3027 of  cBen-hadadh1130 the sonh1121 of Hazaelh2371.

4

Then  aJehoahazh3059 entreatedh2470b the favorh6440 of the LORDh3068, and the LORDh3068 listenedh8085 to him; for  bHe sawh7200 the oppressionh3906 of Israelh3478, howh3588 the kingh4428 of Aramh758 oppressedh3905 them.

5

The LORDh3068 gaveh5414 Israelh3478 a  1 adelivererh3467, so that they  2escapedh3318 from underh8478 the handh3027 of the Arameansh758; and the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 livedh3427 in their tentsh168 as formerlyh8032ah8543.

6

Neverthelessh389 they did not turnh5493 awayh5493 from the sinsh2403b of the househ1004 of Jeroboamh3379,  awith whichh834 he made Israelh3478 sinh2398, but walkedh1980 in  1them; and  bthe Asherahh842 alsoh1571 remained standingh5975 in Samariah8111.

7

For he lefth7604 to Jehoahazh3059 of the  1armyh5971a not moreh3588h518 thanh3588h518 fiftyh2572 horsemenh6571b and tenh6235 chariotsh7393 and 10,000h6235h505 footmenh7273, for the kingh4428 of Aramh758 had destroyedh6 them and  amadeh7760 them like the dusth6083 at threshingh1758.

8

Now the resth3499a of the actsh1697 of Jehoahazh3059, and allh3605 that he didh6213a and his mighth1369, are they not writtenh3789 in the Bookh5612 of the Chroniclesh1697h3117 of the Kingsh4428 of Israelh3478?

9

And Jehoahazh3059 slepth7901 with his fathersh1, and they buriedh6912 him in Samariah8111; and Joashh3060 his sonh1121 becameh4427a kingh4427a in his placeh8478.

10

In the thirty-seventhh7970h7651 yearh8141 of Joashh3060 kingh4428 of Judahh3063, Jehoashh3060 the sonh1121 of Jehoahazh3059 becameh4427a kingh4427a overh5921 Israelh3478 in Samariah8111, and reigned sixteenh8337ah6240 yearsh8141.

11

He didh6213a evilh7451a in the sighth5869 of the LORDh3068; he did not turnh5493 awayh5493 from allh3605 the sinsh2403b of Jeroboamh3379 the sonh1121 of Nebath5028, with whichh834 he made Israelh3478 sinh2398, but he walkedh1980 in  1them.

12

 aNow the resth3499a of the actsh1697 of Joashh3060 and allh3605 that he didh6213a and his mighth1369 with whichh834 he foughth3898a againsth5973 Amaziahh558 kingh4428 of Judahh3063, are they not writtenh3789 in the Bookh5612 of the Chroniclesh1697h3117 of the Kingsh4428 of Israelh3478?

13

So Joashh3060 slepth7901 with his fathersh1, and Jeroboamh3379 sath3427 on his throneh3678; and Joashh3060 was buriedh6912 in Samariah8111 with the kingsh4428 of Israelh3478.

Death of Elisha

14

When Elishah477  1becameh2470a sickh2470a with the illnessh2483 of whichh834 he was to dieh4191, Joashh3060 the kingh4428 of Israelh3478 cameh3381 downh3381 to him and wepth1058 overh5921  2him and saidh559, " aMy fatherh1, my fatherh1, the chariotsh7393 of Israelh3478 and its horsemenh6571b!"

15

Elishah477 saidh559 to him, "Takeh3947 a bowh7198 and arrowsh2671." So he  1tookh3947 a bowh7198 and arrowsh2671.

16

Then he saidh559 to the kingh4428 of Israelh3478, "Puth7392 your handh3027 on the bowh7198." And he puth7392 his handh3027 on it, then Elishah477 laidh7760 his handsh3027 on the king'sh4428 handsh3027.

17

He saidh559, "Openh6605a the windowh2474 toward the easth6924b," and he openedh6605a it. Then Elishah477 saidh559, "Shooth3384!" And he shoth3384. And he saidh559, "The LORD'Sh3068 arrowh2671 of victoryh8668, even the arrowh2671 of victoryh8668 over Aramh758; for you will  1defeath5221 the Arameansh758 at  aAphekh663 untilh5704 you have  2destroyedh3615 them."

18

Then he saidh559, "Takeh3947 the arrowsh2671," and he tookh3947 them. And he saidh559 to the kingh4428 of Israelh3478, "Strikeh5221 the groundh776," and he struckh5221 it threeh7969 timesh6471 and  1stoppedh5975.

19

So  athe manh376 of Godh430 was angryh7107 with him and saidh559, "You should have struckh5221 fiveh2568 orh176 sixh8337a timesh6471, thenh227 you would have struckh5221 Aramh758 untilh5704 you would have  1destroyedh3615 it. But nowh6258 you shall strikeh5221 Aramh758  bonly threeh7969 timesh6471."

20

Elishah477 diedh4191, and they buriedh6912 him. Now  athe bandsh1416 of the Moabitesh4124 would invadeh935 the landh776 in the springh935 of the yearh8141.

21

As they were buryingh6912 a manh376, beholdh2009, they sawh7200 a maraudingh1416 bandh1416; and they casth7993 the manh376 into the graveh6913 of Elishah477. And when the manh376  1touchedh5060 the bonesh6106 of Elishah477 he  arevivedh2421a and stoodh6965 up on his feeth7272.

22

Now  aHazaelh2371 kingh4428 of Aramh758 had oppressedh3905 Israelh3478 allh3605 the daysh3117 of Jehoahazh3059.

23

But the  aLORDh3068 was gracioush2603a to them and  bhadh7355 compassionh7355 on them and turnedh6437 to them becauseh4616 of  cHis covenanth1285 with Abrahamh85, Isaach3327, and Jacobh3290, and wouldh14 not destroyh7843 them or casth7993 them from His presenceh6440 untilh5704 nowh6258.

24

When Hazaelh2371 kingh4428 of Aramh758 diedh4191, Ben-hadadh1130 his sonh1121 becameh4427a kingh4427a in his placeh8478.

25

Then  aJehoashh3060 the sonh1121 of Jehoahazh3059 tookh3947 againh7725 from the handh3027 of Ben-hadadh1130 the sonh1121 of Hazaelh2371 the citiesh5892b whichh834 he hadh7355 takenh3947 in warh4421 from the handh3027 of Jehoahazh3059 his fatherh1.  bThreeh7969 timesh6471 Joashh3060  1defeatedh5221 him and recoveredh7725 the citiesh5892b of Israelh3478.
