When Elisha ^[f]became sick with the illness of which he was to die, Joash the king of Israel came down to him and wept over ^[g]him and said, "^(l)My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!"

Elisha said to him, "Take a bow and arrows." So he ^[h]took a bow and arrows.

Then he said to the king of Israel, "Put your hand on the bow." And he put his hand on it, then Elisha laid his hands on the king's hands.

He said, "Open the window toward the east," and he opened it. Then Elisha said, "Shoot!" And he shot. And he said, "The Lord's arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Aram; for you will ^[i]defeat the Arameans at ^(m)Aphek until you have ^[j]destroyed them."
