II Kings 13
Elisha falls ill and Jehoash comes to him
14 Now Elisha was sick with his illness, and he died. And Jehoash king of Israel went down to him and wept on his face, and said, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!
15 And Elisha said to him, “Take a bow and arrows.” And he took a bow and arrows.
16 Then the king of Israel said, “Put your hand on the bow.” And he put his hand on it. And Elisha put his hands on the king’s hands.
17 And he said, “Open the window toward the east.” And he opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot.” And he shot, and said, “The arrow of the LORD’s salvation is the arrow of salvation against the Syrians; for you will strike the Syrians at Aphek until you have consumed them.”
18 And 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 it stopped.
19 Then the man of God was very angry with him, and said, "You should have struck it five or six times; then you would have struck the Syrians until you had consumed them; but now you will strike the Syrians only three times."
