2 Kings 13:14-25 - Elisha Passes Away

¹⁴ When Elisha was fallen sick of the sickness whereof he died, Joash king of Israel came to him and wept to him, and said, "O father, father! The chariot of Israel and the horsemen of the same!"

¹⁵ And Elisha said unto him, "Bring bow and arrows." And he brought to him bow and arrows. ¹⁶ And he said to the king of Israel, "Put thine hand upon the bow, and when he had put his hand upon the bow, Elisha put his hands upon the king's hands." ¹⁷ Then he said, "Open a window eastward," and he opened. And Elisha said, "shoot," and he shot. And he said, "The arrow of salvation of the LORD; and the arrow of salvation against the Syrians: For thou shalt beat the Syrians in Aphek till thou have consumed them."

¹⁸ Then he said, "Take arrows," and he took. Then he said to the king of Israel, "Smite the ground," and he smote thrice and ceased. ¹⁹ And the man of God was angry with him and said, "Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times, and then thou hadst smitten the Syrians till thou hadst consumed them: where now thou shalt beat them but thrice." ²⁰ When Elisha was dead and buried the soldiers of the Moabites came into the land, the year following. ²¹ And it chanced, as they were burying a man, that they spied the Soldiers, and therefore cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha. And as soon as the man came and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived and stood up on his feet.

²² And Hazael oppressed Israel, all the days of Jehoahaz. ²³ But the LORD had mercy on them and pitied them and turned to them because of his covenant made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and would not destroy them, either cast them from him as yet.

²⁴ And when Hazael king of Syria was dead, Benhadad his son reigned in his stead. ²⁵ And then Joash the son of Jehoahaz went again - and took out of the hand of Benhadad, son of Hazael, the cities which he had taken away out of the hands of Jehoahaz his father, with war. And three times did Joash beat him and brought the cities of Israel again.
