Dual Panel1In the three <07969> <08141> and twentieth <06242> year <08141> of Joash <03101> the son <01121> of Ahaziah <0274> king <04428> of Judah <03063> Jehoahaz <03059> the son <01121> of Jehu <03058> began to reign <04427> (8804) over Israel <03478> in Samaria <08111>_, [and reigned] seventeen <07651> <06240> years <08141>_. {three...: Heb. twentieth year and third year}
2And he did <06213> (8799) [that which was] evil <07451> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>_, and followed <03212> (8799) <0310> the sins <02403> of Jeroboam <03379> the son <01121> of Nebat <05028>_, which made Israel <03478> to sin <02398> (8689)_; he departed <05493> (8804) not therefrom. {followed: Heb. walked after}
3And the anger <0639> of the LORD <03068> was kindled <02734> (8799) against Israel <03478>_, and he delivered <05414> (8799) them into the hand <03027> of Hazael <02371> king <04428> of Syria <0758>_, and into the hand <03027> of Benhadad <01130> the son <01121> of Hazael <02371>_, all [their] days <03117>_.
4And Jehoahaz <03059> besought <02470> (8762) the LORD <03068>_, and the LORD <03068> hearkened <08085> (8799) unto <06440> him: for he saw <07200> (8804) the oppression <03906> of Israel <03478>_, because the king <04428> of Syria <0758> oppressed <03905> (8804) them.
5(And the LORD <03068> gave <05414> (8799) Israel <03478> a saviour <03467> (8688)_, so that they went out <03318> (8799) from under the hand <03027> of the Syrians <0758>_: and the children <01121> of Israel <03478> dwelt <03427> (8799) in their tents <0168>_, as beforetime <08032> <08543>_. {as beforetime: Heb. as yesterday, and third day}
6Nevertheless they departed <05493> (8804) not from the sins <02403> of the house <01004> of Jeroboam <03379>_, who made Israel <03478> sin <02398> (8689)_, [but] walked <01980> (8804) therein: and there remained <05975> (8804) the grove <0842> also in Samaria <08111>.) {walked: Heb. he walked} {remained: Heb. stood}
7Neither did he leave <07604> (8689) of the people <05971> to Jehoahaz <03059> but fifty <02572> horsemen <06571>_, and ten <06235> chariots <07393>_, and ten <06235> thousand <0505> footmen <07273>_; for the king <04428> of Syria <0758> had destroyed <06> (8765) them, and had made <07760> (8799) them like the dust <06083> by threshing <01758> (8800)_.
8Now the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Jehoahaz <03059>_, and all that he did <06213> (8804)_, and his might <01369>_, [are] they not written <03789> (8803) in the book <05612> of the chronicles <01697> <03117> of the kings <04428> of Israel <03478>_?
9And Jehoahaz <03059> slept <07901> (8799) with his fathers <01>_; and they buried <06912> (8799) him in Samaria <08111>_: and Joash <03101> his son <01121> reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead. {Joash: also called, Jehoash}
10In the thirty <07970> <08141> and seventh <07651> year <08141> of Joash <03101> king <04428> of Judah <03063> began Jehoash <03060> the son <01121> of Jehoahaz <03059> to reign <04427> (8804) over Israel <03478> in Samaria <08111>_, [and reigned] sixteen <08337> <06240> years <08141>_.
11And he did <06213> (8799) [that which was] evil <07451> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>_; he departed <05493> (8804) not from all the sins <02403> of Jeroboam <03379> the son <01121> of Nebat <05028>_, who made Israel <03478> sin <02398> (8689)_: [but] he walked <01980> (8804) therein.
12And the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Joash <03101>_, and all that he did <06213> (8804)_, and his might <01369> wherewith he fought <03898> (8738) against Amaziah <0558> king <04428> of Judah <03063>_, [are] they not written <03789> (8803) in the book <05612> of the chronicles <01697> <03117> of the kings <04428> of Israel <03478>_?
13And Joash <03101> slept <07901> (8799) with his fathers <01>_; and Jeroboam <03379> sat <03427> (8804) upon his throne <03678>_: and Joash <03101> was buried <06912> (8735) in Samaria <08111> with the kings <04428> of Israel <03478>_.
14Now Elisha <0477> was fallen sick <02470> (8804) of his sickness <02483> whereof he died <04191> (8799)_. And Joash <03101> the king <04428> of Israel <03478> came down <03381> (8799) unto him, and wept <01058> (8799) over his face <06440>_, and said <0559> (8799)_, O my father <01>_, my father <01>_, the chariot <07393> of Israel <03478>_, and the horsemen <06571> thereof.
15And Elisha <0477> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Take <03947> (8798) bow <07198> and arrows <02671>_. And he took <03947> (8799) unto him bow <07198> and arrows <02671>_.
16And he said <0559> (8799) to the king <04428> of Israel <03478>_, Put <07392> (8685) thine hand <03027> upon the bow <07198>_. And he put <07392> (8686) his hand <03027> [upon it]: and Elisha <0477> put <07760> (8799) his hands <03027> upon the king's <04428> hands <03027>_. {Put thine...: Heb. Make thine hand to ride}
17And he said <0559> (8799)_, Open <06605> (8798) the window <02474> eastward <06924>_. And he opened <06605> (8799) [it]. Then Elisha <0477> said <0559> (8799)_, Shoot <03384> (8798)_. And he shot <03384> (8686)_. And he said <0559> (8799)_, The arrow <02671> of the LORD'S <03068> deliverance <08668>_, and the arrow <02671> of deliverance <08668> from Syria <0758>_: for thou shalt smite <05221> (8689) the Syrians <0758> in Aphek <0663>_, till thou have consumed <03615> (8763) [them].
18And he said <0559> (8799)_, Take <03947> (8798) the arrows <02671>_. And he took <03947> (8799) [them]. And he said <0559> (8799) unto the king <04428> of Israel <03478>_, Smite <05221> (8685) upon the ground <0776>_. And he smote <05221> (8686) thrice <07969> <06471>_, and stayed <05975> (8799)_.
19And the man <0376> of God <0430> was wroth <07107> (8799) with him, and said <0559> (8799)_, Thou shouldest have smitten <05221> (8687) five <02568> or six <08337> times <06471>_; then hadst thou smitten <05221> (8689) Syria <0758> till thou hadst consumed <03615> (8763) [it]: whereas now thou shalt smite <05221> (8686) Syria <0758> [but] thrice <07969> <06471>_.
20And Elisha <0477> died <04191> (8799)_, and they buried <06912> (8799) him. And the bands <01416> of the Moabites <04124> invaded <0935> (8799) the land <0776> at the coming in <0935> (8802) of the year <08141>_.
21And it came to pass, as they were burying <06912> (8802) a man <0376>_, that, behold, they spied <07200> (8804) a band <01416> [of men]; and they cast <07993> (8686) the man <0376> into the sepulchre <06913> of Elisha <0477>_: and when the man <0376> was let down <03212> (8799)_, and touched <05060> (8799) the bones <06106> of Elisha <0477>_, he revived <02421> (8799)_, and stood up <06965> (8799) on his feet <07272>_. {was...: Heb. went down}
22But Hazael <02371> king <04428> of Syria <0758> oppressed <03905> (8804) Israel <03478> all the days <03117> of Jehoahaz <03059>_.
23And the LORD <03068> was gracious <02603> (8799) unto them, and had compassion <07355> (8762) on them, and had respect <06437> (8799) unto them, because of <04616> his covenant <01285> with Abraham <085>_, Isaac <03327>_, and Jacob <03290>_, and would <014> (8804) not destroy <07843> (8687) them, neither cast <07993> (8689) he them from his presence <06440> as yet <05704>_. {presence: Heb. face}
24So Hazael <02371> king <04428> of Syria <0758> died <04191> (8799)_; and Benhadad <01130> his son <01121> reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead.
25And Jehoash <03060> the son <01121> of Jehoahaz <03059> took <03947> (8799) again <07725> (8799) out of the hand <03027> of Benhadad <01130> the son <01121> of Hazael <02371> the cities <05892>_, which he had taken <03947> (8804) out of the hand <03027> of Jehoahaz <03059> his father <01> by war <04421>_. Three <07969> times <06471> did Joash <03101> beat <05221> (8689) him, and recovered <07725> (8686) the cities <05892> of Israel <03478>_. {took...: Heb. returned and took}
