13 In the year of 23, the year to Joash, the son of Ahaziah, the king of Judah, Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, reigned over Israel in Samaria, 17 years. 2 And he did evil in the eyes of Yahweh. And he walked after the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin. He did not turn away from it. 3 And the nose of Yahweh burned against Israel, and he gave them into the hand of Hazael, the king of Aram, and into the hand of Ben Hadad, the son of Hazael, all of the days. 4 Then Jehoahaz entreated the face of Yahweh, and Yahweh listened to him because he saw the oppression of Israel, for the king of Aram oppressed them. 5 And Yahweh gave to Israel a savior, and they came out from under the hand of Aram. And the sons of Israel dwelled in their tents as yesterday, the third day. 6 Nevertheless, they did not turn aside from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who caused Israel to sin. He walked in it, and also the Asherah stood in Samaria. 7 For he did not leave people to Jehoahaz except 50 horsemen and 10 chariots and 10,000 foot soldiers, for the king of Aram destroyed them and made them like dust to threshing. 8 Now the rest of the matters of Jehoahaz and all that he did and his might, are they not written in the book of the matters of the days of the kings of Israel? 9 And Jehoahaz lay down with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria, and Jehoash his son reigned in his place.

10 In the year of 37, the year to Joash, the king of Judah, Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, reigned over Israel in Samaria, 16 years. 11 And he did evil in the eyes of Yahweh. He did not turn aside from all of the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin. He walked in it. 12 Now the rest of the matters of Jehoash and all that he did and his might with which he fought with Amaziah, the king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the matters of the days of the kings of Israel? 13 And Jehoash lay down with his fathers, and Jeroboam sat on his throne. And Jehoash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.

14 Now Elisha had become sick with his sickness with which he would die. And Jehoash, the king of Israel, went down to him, and he wept over his face, and he said, “My father, my father, the chariotry of Israel and its horsemen!” 15 And Elisha said to him, “Bring a bow and arrows.” And he brought to him a bow and arrows. 16 And he said to, the king of Israel, “Make your hand ride on the bow.” And he made his hand ride. And Elisha put his hands over the hands of the king. 17 And he said, “Open the window to the east.” And one opened it. And Elisha said, “Shoot.” And he shot. And he said, “The arrow of victory to Yahweh, and the arrow of victory against Aram. And you will strike Aram at Aphek to finishing.” 18 And he said, “Take the arrows.” And he took them. And he said to the king of Israel, “Strike on the ground.” And he struck three times, and he stopped. 19 And the man of God became angry with him, and he said, “Striking five or six times, then you would have struck Aram to finishing. But now, you will strike Aram three times.”

20 And Elisha died, and they buried him. Now raiding bands of Moab came into the land at the coming of the year. 21 And it happened, they were burying a man, and behold, they saw a raiding band, and they threw the man into the grave of Elisha. And the man went and touched the bones of Elisha, and it happened that he arose onto his feet.

22 Now Hazael, the king of Aram, had oppressed Israel all of the days of Jehoahaz. 23 But Yahweh was gracious to them and had compassion on them, and he turned to them because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And he was not willing to destroy them, and he has not cast them away from his face until now. 24 And Hazael, the king of Aram, died, and Ben Hadad his son reigned in his place. 25 And Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, returned and took the cities from the hand of Ben Hadad, the son of Hazael, that he had taken from the hand of Jehoahaz his father in battle. Three times Joash struck him, and he made the cities of Israel return.
