1
In the twenty-third
year
of Joash
the son
of Ahaziah,
king
of Judah,
Jehoahaz
the son
of Jehu
became
king
over
Israel
at Samaria,
and he reigned seventeen
years.
2
He did
evil
in the sight
of the LORD,
and followed
the sins
of Jeroboam
the son
of Nebat,
with which
he made Israel
sin;
he did not turn
from them.
3
So the anger
of the LORD
was kindled
against Israel,
and He gave
them continually
into the hand
of Hazael
king
of Aram,
and
into the hand
of Ben-hadad
the son
of Hazael
.
4
Then Jehoahaz
entreated
the favor
of the LORD,
and the LORD
listened
to him; for He saw
the oppression
of Israel,
how
the king
of Aram
oppressed
them.
5
The LORD
gave
Israel
a deliverer,
so that they escaped
from under
the hand
of the Arameans;
and the sons
of
Israel
lived
in their tents
as formerly.
6
Nevertheless
they did not turn away
from the sins
of the house
of Jeroboam,
with which
he made Israel
sin,
but walked
in them; and the Asherah
also
remained standing
in Samaria.
7
For he left
to Jehoahaz
of the army
not more
than
fifty
horsemen
and ten
chariots
and 10,000
footmen,
for the king
of Aram
had destroyed
them and made
them like the dust
at threshing.
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?
9
And Jehoahaz
slept
with his fathers,
and they buried
him in Samaria;
and Joash
his son
became king
in his place.
10
In the thirty-seventh
year
of Joash
king
of Judah,
Jehoash
the son
of Jehoahaz
became
king
over
Israel
in Samaria,
and reigned sixteen
years.
11
He did
evil
in the sight
of the LORD;
he did not turn away
from all
the sins
of Jeroboam
the son
of Nebat,
with which
he made Israel
sin,
but he walked
in them.
12
Now the rest
of the acts
of Joash
and all
that he did
and his might
with which
he fought
against
Amaziah
king
of Judah,
are they not written
in the Book
of the Chronicles
of the Kings
of Israel?
13
So Joash
slept
with his fathers,
and Jeroboam
sat
on his throne;
and Joash
was buried
in Samaria
with the kings
of Israel.
14
When Elisha
became sick
with the illness
of which
he was to die,
Joash
the king
of Israel
came down
to him and wept
over
him and said,
"My father,
my father,
the chariots
of Israel
and its horsemen!"
15
Elisha
said
to him, "Take
a bow
and arrows.
"
So he took
a bow
and arrows.
16
Then he said
to the king
of Israel,
"Put
your hand
on the bow."
And he put
his hand
on it, then Elisha
laid
his hand
s
on the king's
hands.
17
He
said,
"Open
the window
toward the east,"
and he opened
it. Then Elisha
said,
"Shoot!"
And he shot.
And he
said,
"The LORD'S
arrow
of victory
,
even the
arrow
of victory
over Aram;
for you will defeat
the Arameans
at Aphek
until
you have destroyed
them."
18
Then he said,
"Take
the arrows,"
and he took
them. And he said
to the king
of Israel,
"Strike
the ground,"
and he struck
it three
times
and stopped.
19
So the man
of God
was angry
with him and said,
"You should have struck
five
or
six
times,
then
you would have struck
Aram
until
you would have destroyed
it. But now
you shall strike
Aram
only three
times."
20
Elisha
died,
and they buried
him. Now the bands
of the Moabites
would invade
the land
in the spring
of the year.
21
As they were burying
a man,
behold,
they saw
a marauding band;
and they cast
the man
into the grave
of Elisha
.
And when
the man
touched
the bones
of Elisha
he revived
and stood
up on his feet.
22
Now Hazael
king
of Aram
had oppressed
Israel
all
the days
of Jehoahaz.
23
But the LORD
was gracious
to them and had compassion
on them and turned
to them because
of His covenant
with Abraham,
Isaac,
and Jacob,
and would
not destroy
them or cast
them from His presence
until
now.
24
When Hazael
king
of Aram
died,
Ben-hadad
his son
became
king
in his place.
25
Then Jehoash
the son
of Jehoahaz
took
again
from the hand
of Ben-hadad
the son
of Hazael
the cities
which
he had
taken
in war
from the hand
of Jehoahaz
his father.
Three
times
Joash
defeated
him and recovered
the cities
of Israel.
