2 Kings 13

1 Jehoahaz his wicked reign. 3 Jehoahaz, oppressed by Hazael, is relieved by prayer. 8 Joash succeedeth him. 10 His wicked reign. 12 Jeroboam succeedeth him. 14 Elisha dying prophesieth to Joash three victories over the Syrians. 20 The Moabites invading the land, Elisha's bones raise up a dead man. 22 Hazael dying, Joash getteth three victories over Ben-hadad.

 13:1 In the twenty-third 6242 7969 year 8141 of Joash 3060 the son 1121 of Ahaziah 274, king 4428 of Judah 3063, Jehoahaz 3059 the son 1121 of Jehu 3058 became 4427a king 4427a over 5921 Israel 3478 at Samaria 8111, [and he reigned] seventeen 7651 6240 years 8141.

 13:2 He did 6213a evil 7451a in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068, and followed 1980 310 the sins 2403b of Jeroboam 3379 the son 1121 of Nebat 5028, with which 834 he made Israel 3478 sin 2398; he did not turn 5493 from them.

 13:3 So the anger 639 of the LORD 3068 was kindled 2734 against Israel 3478, and He gave 5414 them continually 3605 3117 into the hand 3027 of Hazael 2371 king 4428 of Aram 758, and into the hand 3027 of Ben-hadad 1130 the son 1121 of Hazael 2371.

 13:4 Then Jehoahaz 3059 entreated 2470b the favor 6440 of the LORD 3068, and the LORD 3068 listened 8085 to him; for He saw 7200 the oppression 3906 of Israel 3478, how 3588 the king 4428 of Aram 758 oppressed 3905 them.

 13:5 The LORD 3068 gave 5414 Israel 3478 a deliverer 3467, so that they escaped 3318 from under 8478 the hand 3027 of the Arameans 758; and the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 lived 3427 in their tents 168 as formerly 8032a 8543.

 13:6 Nevertheless 389 they did not turn 5493 away 5493 from the sins 2403b of the house 1004 of Jeroboam 3379, with which 834 he made Israel 3478 sin 2398, but walked 1980 in them; and the Asherah 842 also 1571 remained standing 5975 in Samaria 8111.

 13:7 For he left 7604 to Jehoahaz 3059 of the army 5971a not more 3588 518 than 3588 518 fifty 2572 horsemen 6571b and ten 6235 chariots 7393 and 10,000 6235 505 footmen 7273, for the king 4428 of Aram 758 had destroyed 6 them and made 7760 them like the dust 6083 at threshing 1758.

 13:8 Now the rest 3499a of the acts 1697 of Jehoahaz 3059, and all 3605 that he did 6213a and his might 1369, are they not written 3789 in the Book 5612 of the Chronicles 1697 3117 of the Kings 4428 of Israel 3478?

 13:9 And Jehoahaz 3059 slept 7901 with his fathers 1, and they buried 6912 him in Samaria 8111; and Joash 3060 his son 1121 became 4427a king 4427a in his place 8478.

 13:10 ¶ In the thirty-seventh 7970 7651 year 8141 of Joash 3060 king 4428 of Judah 3063, Jehoash 3060 the son 1121 of Jehoahaz 3059 became 4427a king 4427a over 5921 Israel 3478 in Samaria 8111, [and reigned] sixteen 8337a 6240 years 8141.

 13:11 He did 6213a evil 7451a in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068; he did not turn 5493 away 5493 from all 3605 the sins 2403b of Jeroboam 3379 the son 1121 of Nebat 5028, with which 834 he made Israel 3478 sin 2398, but he walked 1980 in them.

 13:12 Now the rest 3499a of the acts 1697 of Joash 3060 and all 3605 that he did 6213a and his might 1369 with which 834 he fought 3898a against 5973 Amaziah 558 king 4428 of Judah 3063, are they not written 3789 in the Book 5612 of the Chronicles 1697 3117 of the Kings 4428 of Israel 3478?

 13:13 So Joash 3060 slept 7901 with his fathers 1, and Jeroboam 3379 sat 3427 on his throne 3678; and Joash 3060 was buried 6912 in Samaria 8111 with the kings 4428 of Israel 3478.

 13:14 ¶ When Elisha 477 became 2470a sick 2470a with the illness 2483 of which 834 he was to die 4191, Joash 3060 the king 4428 of Israel 3478 came 3381 down 3381 to him and wept 1058 over 5921 him and said 559, “My father 1, my father 1, the chariots 7393 of Israel 3478 and its horsemen 6571b!”

 13:15 Elisha 477 said 559 to him, “Take 3947 a bow 7198 and arrows 2671.” So he took 3947 a bow 7198 and arrows 2671.

 13:16 Then he said 559 to the king 4428 of Israel 3478, “Put 7392 your hand 3027 on the bow 7198.” And he put 7392 his hand 3027 [on it], then Elisha 477 laid 7760 his hands 3027 on the king’s 4428 hands 3027.

 13:17 He said 559, “Open 6605a the window 2474 toward the east 6924b,” and he opened 6605a [it]. Then Elisha 477 said 559, “Shoot 3384!” And he shot 3384. And he said 559, “The LORD’S 3068 arrow 2671 of victory 8668, even the arrow 2671 of victory 8668 over Aram 758; for you will defeat 5221 the Arameans 758 at Aphek 663 until 5704 you have destroyed 3615 [them].”

 13:18 Then he said 559, “Take 3947 the arrows 2671,” and he took 3947 them. And he said 559 to the king 4428 of Israel 3478, “Strike 5221 the ground 776,” and he struck 5221 [it] three 7969 times 6471 and stopped 5975.

 13:19 So the man 376 of God 430 was angry 7107 with him and said 559, “You should have struck 5221 five 2568 or 176 six 8337a times 6471, then 227 you would have struck 5221 Aram 758 until 5704 you would have destroyed 3615 [it]. But now 6258 you shall strike 5221 Aram 758 [only] three 7969 times 6471.”

 13:20 ¶ Elisha 477 died 4191, and they buried 6912 him. Now the bands 1416 of the Moabites 4124 would invade 935 the land 776 in the spring 935 of the year 8141.

 13:21 As they were burying 6912 a man 376, behold 2009, they saw 7200 a marauding 1416 band 1416; and they cast 7993 the man 376 into the grave 6913 of Elisha 477. And when the man 376 touched 5060 the bones 6106 of Elisha 477 he revived 2421a and stood 6965 up on his feet 7272.

 13:22 ¶ Now Hazael 2371 king 4428 of Aram 758 had oppressed 3905 Israel 3478 all 3605 the days 3117 of Jehoahaz 3059.

 13:23 But the LORD 3068 was gracious 2603a to them and had 7355 compassion 7355 on them and turned 6437 to them because 4616 of His covenant 1285 with Abraham 85, Isaac 3327, and Jacob 3290, and would 14 not destroy 7843 them or cast 7993 them from His presence 6440 until 5704 now 6258.

 13:24 ¶ When Hazael 2371 king 4428 of Aram 758 died 4191, Ben-hadad 1130 his son 1121 became 4427a king 4427a in his place 8478.

 13:25 Then Jehoash 3060 the son 1121 of Jehoahaz 3059 took 3947 again 7725 from the hand 3027 of Ben-hadad 1130 the son 1121 of Hazael 2371 the cities 5892b which 834 he had 7355 taken 3947 in war 4421 from the hand 3027 of Jehoahaz 3059 his father 1. Three 7969 times 6471 Joash 3060 defeated 5221 him and recovered 7725 the cities 5892b of Israel 3478.
