1 In the three 7969 8141 and twentieth 6242 year 8141 of Joash 3101 the son 1121 of Ahaziah 274 king 4428 of Judah 3063 Jehoahaz 3059 the son 1121 of Jehu 3058 began to reign 4427 over Israel 3478 in Samaria 8111, and reigned seventeen 7651 6240 years 8141.
2 And he did 6213 that which was evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068, and followed 3212 310 the sins 2403 of Jeroboam 3379 the son 1121 of Nebat 5028, which made Israel 3478 to sin 2398; he departed 5493 not therefrom.
3 And the anger 639 of the LORD 3068 was kindled 2734 against Israel 3478, and he delivered 5414 them into the hand 3027 of Hazael 2371 king 4428 of Syria 758, and into the hand 3027 of Benhadad 1130 the son 1121 of Hazael 2371, all their days 3117.
4 And Jehoahaz 3059 besought 2470 the LORD 3068, and the LORD 3068 hearkened 8085 unto 6440 him: for he saw 7200 the oppression 3906 of Israel 3478, because the king 4428 of Syria 758 oppressed 3905 them.
5 (And the LORD 3068 gave 5414 Israel 3478 a saviour 3467, so that they went out 3318 from under the hand 3027 of the Syrians 758: and the children 1121 of Israel 3478 dwelt 3427 in their tents 168, as beforetime 8032 8543.
6 Nevertheless they departed 5493 not from the sins 2403 of the house 1004 of Jeroboam 3379, who made Israel 3478 sin 2398, but walked 1980 therein: and there remained 5975 the grove 842 also in Samaria 8111.)
7 Neither did he leave 7604 of the people 5971 to Jehoahaz 3059 but fifty 2572 horsemen 6571, and ten 6235 chariots 7393, and ten 6235 thousand 505 footmen 7273; for the king 4428 of Syria 758 had destroyed 6 them, and had made 7760 them like the dust 6083 by threshing 1758.
8 Now the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Jehoahaz 3059, and all that he did 6213, and his might 1369, are they not written 3789 in the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Israel 3478?
9 And Jehoahaz 3059 slept 7901 with his fathers 1; and they buried 6912 him in Samaria 8111: and Joash 3101 his son 1121 reigned 4427 in his stead.
10 In the thirty 7970 8141 and seventh 7651 year 8141 of Joash 3101 king 4428 of Judah 3063 began Jehoash 3060 the son 1121 of Jehoahaz 3059 to reign 4427 over Israel 3478 in Samaria 8111, and reigned sixteen 8337 6240 years 8141.
11 And he did 6213 that which was evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068; he departed 5493 not from all the sins 2403 of Jeroboam 3379 the son 1121 of Nebat 5028, who made Israel 3478 sin 2398: but he walked 1980 therein.
12 And the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Joash 3101, and all that he did 6213, and his might 1369 wherewith he fought 3898 against Amaziah 558 king 4428 of Judah 3063, are they not written 3789 in the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Israel 3478?
13 And Joash 3101 slept 7901 with his fathers 1; and Jeroboam 3379 sat 3427 upon his throne 3678: and Joash 3101 was buried 6912 in Samaria 8111 with the kings 4428 of Israel 3478.
14 Now Elisha 477 was fallen sick 2470 of his sickness 2483 whereof he died 4191. And Joash 3101 the king 4428 of Israel 3478 came down 3381 unto him, and wept 1058 over his face 6440, and said 559, O my father 1, my father 1, the chariot 7393 of Israel 3478, and the horsemen 6571 thereof.
15 And Elisha 477 said 559 unto him, Take 3947 bow 7198 and arrows 2671. And he took 3947 unto him bow 7198 and arrows 2671.
16 And he said 559 to the king 4428 of Israel 3478, Put 7392 thine hand 3027 upon the bow 7198. And he put 7392 his hand 3027 upon it: and Elisha 477 put 7760 his hands 3027 upon the king's 4428 hands 3027.
17 And he said 559, Open 6605 the window 2474 eastward 6924. And he opened 6605 it. Then Elisha 477 said 559, Shoot 3384. And he shot 3384. And he said 559, The arrow 2671 of the LORD'S 3068 deliverance 8668, and the arrow 2671 of deliverance 8668 from Syria 758: for thou shalt smite 5221 the Syrians 758 in Aphek 663, till thou have consumed 3615 them.
18 And he said 559, Take 3947 the arrows 2671. And he took 3947 them. And he said 559 unto the king 4428 of Israel 3478, Smite 5221 upon the ground 776. And he smote 5221 thrice 7969 6471, and stayed 5975.
19 And the man 376 of God 430 was wroth 7107 with him, and said 559, Thou shouldest have smitten 5221 five 2568 or six 8337 times 6471; then hadst thou smitten 5221 Syria 758 till thou hadst consumed 3615 it: whereas now thou shalt smite 5221 Syria 758 but thrice 7969 6471.
20 And Elisha 477 died 4191, and they buried 6912 him. And the bands 1416 of the Moabites 4124 invaded 935 the land 776 at the coming in 935 of the year 8141.
21 And it came to pass, as they were burying 6912 a man 376, that, behold, they spied 7200 a band 1416 of men; and they cast 7993 the man 376 into the sepulchre 6913 of Elisha 477: and when the man 376 was let down 3212, and touched 5060 the bones 6106 of Elisha 477, he revived 2421, and stood up 6965 on his feet 7272.
22 But Hazael 2371 king 4428 of Syria 758 oppressed 3905 Israel 3478 all the days 3117 of Jehoahaz 3059.
23 And the LORD 3068 was gracious 2603 unto them, and had compassion 7355 on them, and had respect 6437 unto them, because of 4616 his covenant 1285 with Abraham 85, Isaac 3327, and Jacob 3290, and would 14 not destroy 7843 them, neither cast 7993 he them from his presence 6440 as yet 5704.
24 So Hazael 2371 king 4428 of Syria 758 died 4191; and Benhadad 1130 his son 1121 reigned 4427 in his stead.
25 And Jehoash 3060 the son 1121 of Jehoahaz 3059 took 3947 again 7725 out of the hand 3027 of Benhadad 1130 the son 1121 of Hazael 2371 the cities 5892, which he had taken 3947 out of the hand 3027 of Jehoahaz 3059 his father 1 by war 4421. Three 7969 times 6471 did Joash 3101 beat 5221 him, and recovered 7725 the cities 5892 of Israel 3478.
