2 Kings 13:14-17

2 Kings 13:14-17 NCV

At this time Elisha became sick. Before he died, Jehoash king of Israel went to Elisha and cried for him. Jehoash said, “My father, my father! The chariots of Israel and their horsemen!” Elisha said to Jehoash, “Take a bow and arrows.” So he took a bow and arrows. Then Elisha said to him, “Put your hand on the bow.” So Jehoash put his hand on the bow. Then Elisha put his hands on the king’s hands. Elisha said, “Open the east window.” So Jehoash opened the window. Then Elisha said, “Shoot,” and Jehoash shot. Elisha said, “The LORD’s arrow of victory over Aram! You will defeat the Arameans at Aphek until you destroy them.”
