Contextual Overview
10 In the thirty-seventh year of Yo'ash king of Yehudah began Yeho'ash the son of Yeho'achaz to reign over Yisra'el in Shomron, [and reigned] sixteen years. 11 He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; he didn't depart from all the sins of Yarov`am the son of Nevat, with which he made Yisra'el to sin; but he walked therein. 12 Now the rest of the acts of Yo'ash, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought against Amatzyah king of Yehudah, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Yisra'el? 13 Yo'ash slept with his fathers; and Yarov`am sat on his throne: and Yo'ash was buried in Shomron with the kings of Yisra'el. 14 Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died: and Yo'ash the king of Yisra'el came down to him, and wept over him, and said, My father, my father, the chariots of Yisra'el and the horsemen of it! 15 Elisha said to him, Take bow and arrows; and he took to him bow and arrows. 16 He said to the king of Yisra'el, Put your hand on the bow; and he put his hand [on it]. Elisha laid his hands on the king's hands. 17 He said, Open the window eastward; and he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot; and he shot. He said, the LORD's arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Aram; for you shall strike the Aram in Afek, until you have consumed them. 18 He said, Take the arrows; and he took them. He said to the king of Yisra'el, Smite on the ground; and he struck thrice, and stayed. 19 The man of God was angry with him, and said, You should have struck five or six times: then had you struck Aram until you had consumed it, whereas now you shall strike Aram but thrice.
