Contextual Overview

20 So Elisha dyed, and they buryed him. And certaine bandes of the Moabites came into the land that yeere. 21 And as they were burying a man, behold, they saw the souldiers: therfore they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha. And when the man was downe, and touched the bones of Elisha, he reuiued and stoode vpon his feete. 22 But Hazael King of Aram vexed Israel all the dayes of Iehoahaz. 23 Therefore the Lorde had mercy on them & pitied them, & had respect vnto them because of his couenant with Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from him as yet. 24 So Hazael the King of Aram dyed: and Ben-hadad his sonne reigned in his stead. 25 Therefore Iehoash the sonne of Iehoahaz returned, and tooke out of the hand of Ben-hadad the sonne of Hazael the cities which he had taken away by warre out of the hand of Iehoahaz his father: for three times did Ioash beate him, and restored the cities vnto Israel.
