12:013:006 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.)
12:013:007 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.
12:013:008 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?
12:013:009 And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and
they buried him in
Samaria:
and Joash his son reigned in his stead.
12:013:010 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.
12:013:011 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.
12:013:012 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?
12:013:013 And Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam
sat upon his
throne:
and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of
Israel.
12:013:014 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.
12:013:015 And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and
arrows. And he took
unto
him bow and arrows.
12:013:016 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.
12:013:017 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.
12:013:018 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.
12:013:019 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.
