¹ In the three ^{H7969 H8141} and twentieth ^H6242 year ^H8141 of Joash ^H3101 the son ^H1121 of Ahaziah ^H274 king ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063 Jehoahaz ^H3059 the son ^H1121 of Jehu ^H3058 began to reign ^H4427 over Israel ^H3478 in Samaria, ^H8111 and reigned seventeen ^{H7651 H6240} years. ^H8141

² And he did ^H6213 that which was evil ^H7451 in the sight ^H5869 of the LORD, ^H3068 and followed ^{H3212 H310} the sins ^H2403 of Jeroboam ^H3379 the son ^H1121 of Nebat, ^H5028 which made Israel ^H3478 to sin; ^H2398 he departed ^H5493 not therefrom.

³ And the anger ^H639 of the LORD ^H3068 was kindled ^H2734 against Israel, ^H3478 and he delivered ^H5414 them into the hand ^H3027 of Hazael ^H2371 king ^H4428 of Syria, ^H758 and into the hand ^H3027 of Benhadad ^H1130 the son ^H1121 of Hazael, ^H2371 all their days. ^H3117

⁴ And Jehoahaz ^H3059 besought ^H2470 the LORD, ^H3068 and the LORD ^H3068 hearkened ^H8085 unto ^H6440 him: for he saw ^H7200 the oppression ^H3906 of Israel, ^H3478 because the king ^H4428 of Syria ^H758 oppressed ^H3905 them.

⁵ (And the LORD ^H3068 gave ^H5414 Israel ^H3478 a saviour, ^H3467 so that they went out ^H3318 from under the hand ^H3027 of the Syrians: ^H758 and the children ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 dwelt ^H3427 in their tents, ^H168 as beforetime. ^{H8032 H8543}

⁶ Nevertheless they departed ^H5493 not from the sins ^H2403 of the house ^H1004 of Jeroboam, ^H3379 who made Israel ^H3478 sin, ^H2398 but walked ^H1980 therein: and there remained ^H5975 the grove ^H842 also in Samaria.) ^H8111

⁷ Neither did he leave ^H7604 of the people ^H5971 to Jehoahaz ^H3059 but fifty ^H2572 horsemen, ^H6571 and ten ^H6235 chariots, ^H7393 and ten ^H6235 thousand ^H505 footmen; ^H7273 for the king ^H4428 of Syria ^H758 had destroyed ^H6 them, and had made ^H7760 them like the dust ^H6083 by threshing. ^H1758

⁸ Now the rest ^H3499 of the acts ^H1697 of Jehoahaz, ^H3059 and all that he did, ^H6213 and his might, ^H1369 are they not written ^H3789 in the book ^H5612 of the chronicles ^{H1697 H3117} of the kings ^H4428 of Israel? ^H3478

⁹ And Jehoahaz ^H3059 slept ^H7901 with his fathers; ^H1 and they buried ^H6912 him in Samaria: ^H8111 and Joash ^H3101 his son ^H1121 reigned ^H4427 in his stead.

¹⁰ In the thirty ^{H7970 H8141} and seventh ^H7651 year ^H8141 of Joash ^H3101 king ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063 began Jehoash ^H3060 the son ^H1121 of Jehoahaz ^H3059 to reign ^H4427 over Israel ^H3478 in Samaria, ^H8111 and reigned sixteen ^{H8337 H6240} years. ^H8141

¹¹ And he did ^H6213 that which was evil ^H7451 in the sight ^H5869 of the LORD; ^H3068 he departed ^H5493 not from all the sins ^H2403 of Jeroboam ^H3379 the son ^H1121 of Nebat, ^H5028 who made Israel ^H3478 sin: ^H2398 but he walked ^H1980 therein.

¹² And the rest ^H3499 of the acts ^H1697 of Joash, ^H3101 and all that he did, ^H6213 and his might ^H1369 wherewith he fought ^H3898 against Amaziah ^H558 king ^H4428 of Judah, ^H3063 are they not written ^H3789 in the book ^H5612 of the chronicles ^{H1697 H3117} of the kings ^H4428 of Israel? ^H3478

¹³ And Joash ^H3101 slept ^H7901 with his fathers; ^H1 and Jeroboam ^H3379 sat ^H3427 upon his throne: ^H3678 and Joash ^H3101 was buried ^H6912 in Samaria ^H8111 with the kings ^H4428 of Israel. ^H3478

¹⁴ Now Elisha ^H477 was fallen sick ^H2470 of his sickness ^H2483 whereof he died. ^H4191 And Joash ^H3101 the king ^H4428 of Israel ^H3478 came down ^H3381 unto him, and wept ^H1058 over his face, ^H6440 and said, ^H559 O my father, ^H1 my father, ^H1 the chariot ^H7393 of Israel, ^H3478 and the horsemen ^H6571 thereof.

¹⁵ And Elisha ^H477 said ^H559 unto him, Take ^H3947 bow ^H7198 and arrows. ^H2671 And he took ^H3947 unto him bow ^H7198 and arrows. ^H2671

¹⁶ And he said ^H559 to the king ^H4428 of Israel, ^H3478 Put ^H7392 thine hand ^H3027 upon the bow. ^H7198 And he put ^H7392 his hand ^H3027 upon it: and Elisha ^H477 put ^H7760 his hands ^H3027 upon the king's ^H4428 hands. ^H3027

¹⁷ And he said, ^H559 Open ^H6605 the window ^H2474 eastward. ^H6924 And he opened ^H6605 it. Then Elisha ^H477 said, ^H559 Shoot. ^H3384 And he shot. ^H3384 And he said, ^H559 The arrow ^H2671 of the LORD'S ^H3068 deliverance, ^H8668 and the arrow ^H2671 of deliverance ^H8668 from Syria: ^H758 for thou shalt smite ^H5221 the Syrians ^H758 in Aphek, ^H663 till thou have consumed ^H3615 them.

¹⁸ And he said, ^H559 Take ^H3947 the arrows. ^H2671 And he took ^H3947 them. And he said ^H559 unto the king ^H4428 of Israel, ^H3478 Smite ^H5221 upon the ground. ^H776 And he smote ^H5221 thrice, ^{H7969 H6471} and stayed. ^H5975

¹⁹ And the man ^H376 of God ^H430 was wroth ^H7107 with him, and said, ^H559 Thou shouldest have smitten ^H5221 five ^H2568 or six ^H8337 times; ^H6471 then hadst thou smitten ^H5221 Syria ^H758 till thou hadst consumed ^H3615 it: whereas now thou shalt smite ^H5221 Syria ^H758 but thrice. ^{H7969 H6471}

²⁰ And Elisha ^H477 died, ^H4191 and they buried ^H6912 him. And the bands ^H1416 of the Moabites ^H4124 invaded ^H935 the land ^H776 at the coming in ^H935 of the year. ^H8141

²¹ And it came to pass, as they were burying ^H6912 a man, ^H376 that, behold, they spied ^H7200 a band ^H1416 of men; and they cast ^H7993 the man ^H376 into the sepulchre ^H6913 of Elisha: ^H477 and when the man ^H376 was let down, ^H3212 and touched ^H5060 the bones ^H6106 of Elisha, ^H477 he revived, ^H2421 and stood up ^H6965 on his feet. ^H7272

²² But Hazael ^H2371 king ^H4428 of Syria ^H758 oppressed ^H3905 Israel ^H3478 all the days ^H3117 of Jehoahaz. ^H3059

²³ And the LORD ^H3068 was gracious ^H2603 unto them, and had compassion ^H7355 on them, and had respect ^H6437 unto them, because of ^H4616 his covenant ^H1285 with Abraham, ^H85 Isaac, ^H3327 and Jacob, ^H3290 and would ^H14 not destroy ^H7843 them, neither cast ^H7993 he them from his presence ^H6440 as yet. ^H5704

²⁴ So Hazael ^H2371 king ^H4428 of Syria ^H758 died; ^H4191 and Benhadad ^H1130 his son ^H1121 reigned ^H4427 in his stead.

²⁵ And Jehoash ^H3060 the son ^H1121 of Jehoahaz ^H3059 took ^H3947 again ^H7725 out of the hand ^H3027 of Benhadad ^H1130 the son ^H1121 of Hazael ^H2371 the cities, ^H5892 which he had taken ^H3947 out of the hand ^H3027 of Jehoahaz ^H3059 his father ^H1 by war. ^H4421 Three ^H7969 times ^H6471 did Joash ^H3101 beat ^H5221 him, and recovered ^H7725 the cities ^H5892 of Israel. ^H3478
