이스라엘의 11대 왕 여호아하스
13 아하시야의 아들인 유다의 요아스왕 23년에 예후의 아들 여호아하스가 이스라엘의 왕이 되어 사마리아에서 17년을 통치하였다.
2 그러나 그는 여호와께서 보시기에 악을 행하며 이스라엘 백성을 범죄하게 한 느밧의 아들 여로보암을 본받아 그 죄에서 떠나지 않았다.
3 그러므로 여호와께서 이스라엘을 향하여 분노하시고 그들을 계속 시리아의 하사엘왕과 그의 아들 [a]벤 – 하닷의 지배를 받게 하였다.
4 그러나 여호아하스가 여호와께 부르짖어 기도하자 여호와께서는 시리아 왕이 이스라엘 백성을 가혹하게 학대하는 것을 보시고 그의 기도에 응답하셔서
5 지도자 한 사람을 보내 그들을 시리아 사람들에게서 구출해 내셨다. 그래서 이스라엘 사람들은 전과 같이 평화롭게 지냈으나
6 그들은 이스라엘 백성을 범죄하게 한 여로보암을 본받아 계속 죄를 짓고 사마리아에 있는 아세라 여신상을 치우지 않은 채 그대로 두었다.
7 이때 여호아하스에게는 마병 50명과 전차 10대와 보병 10,000명의 병력밖에 없었는데 이것은 시리아 왕이 이스라엘 백성을 발밑의 티끌처럼 짓밟아 버렸기 때문이었다.
8 그 밖에 여호아하스가 행한 모든 일은 이스라엘 왕들의 역사책에 기록되어 있다.
9 그는 죽어 사마리아에 장사되었고 그의 아들 [b]여호아스가 왕위를 계승하였다.
이스라엘의 12대 왕 여호아스
10 유다의 요아스왕 37년에 여호아하스의 아들 여호아스가 이스라엘의 왕이 되어 사마리아에서 16년을 통치하였다.
11 그도 여호와께서 보시기에 악을 행하며 이스라엘 백성을 범죄하게 한 느밧의 아들 여로보암을 본받아 그 죄에서 떠나지 않았다.
12 그 밖에 여호아스가 행한 모든 일과 그가 유다의 아마샤왕과 싸운 전쟁 이야기는 이스라엘 왕들의 역사책에 기록되어 있다.
13 여호아스는 죽어 이스라엘의 다른 왕들처럼 사마리아에 장사되었고 그의 아들 여로보암 2세가 왕위를 계승하였다.
엘리사의 죽음
14 엘리사가 병들어 죽게 되자 이스라엘의 여호아스왕이 문병하러 가서 눈물을 흘리며 [c]“나의 아버지여! 나의 아버지여! 이스라엘의 전차와 마병이여!” 하고 부르짖었다.
15 이때 엘리사가 “활과 화살을 가져오십시오” 하였다. 여호아스가 그것을 가져오자
16 엘리사는 왕에게 활을 쏠 준비를 하게 하고 자기 손을 왕의 손 위에 얹었다.
17 그러고서 그는 왕에게 동쪽 창문을 열고 활을 쏘라고 하였다. 왕이 활을 쏘자 엘리사는 이렇게 외쳤다. “이것은 여호와의 화살, 곧 시리아에 대한 승리의 화살입니다. 왕은 아벡에서 시리아군을 쳐서 그들을 완전히 정복할 것입니다.”
18 그러고서 엘리사는 왕에게 다른 화살을 집어 땅을 치라고 했다. 그러자 왕은 세 번만 치고 그쳤다.
19 그래서 엘리사는 화가 나서 왕에게 이렇게 말하였다. “왕은 대여섯 번을 쳤어야 했습니다. 그랬더라면 왕은 시리아를 완전히 정복할 수 있을 텐데 왕이 세 번밖에 치지 않았으므로 그들을 세 번만 무찌를 것입니다.”
20 그 후에 엘리사는 죽어 장사되었다. 이 당시에는 모압의 도적 떼가 봄만 돌아오면 이스라엘 땅을 침범하여 약탈하기가 일쑤였다.
21 한번은 이스라엘 사람들이 장사를 지내다가 모압 도적 떼를 보고 다급한 나머지 시체를 엘리사의 무덤에 던져 넣고 달아나 버렸다. 그런데 그 시체가 엘리사의 뼈에 닿는 순간 죽은 사람이 살아나 벌떡 일어서지 않겠는가!
이스라엘과 시리아와의 전쟁
22 여호아하스왕이 나라를 다스리는 동안 시리아의 하사엘왕이 언제나 이스라엘을 괴롭혔으나
23 여호와께서는 아브라함과 이삭과 야곱과 맺은 계약을 생각하셔서 이스라엘 백성에게 은혜를 베풀고 그들을 불쌍히 여겨 이스라엘을 완전히 멸망시키지 않으시고 지금까지 그들을 자기 앞에서 쫓아내지 않으셨다.
24 시리아의 하사엘왕이 죽자 그의 아들 벤 – 하닷이 왕위를 계승하였다.
25 이때 이스라엘의 여호아스왕은 벤 – 하닷을 3차에 걸쳐 치고 자기 아버지 여호아하스가 빼앗겼던 성들을 되찾았다.

Jehoahaz King of Israel
13 In the twenty-third year of Joash son of Ahaziah king of Judah, Jehoahaz son of Jehu became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned seventeen years. 2 He did evil(A) in the eyes of the Lord by following the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit, and he did not turn away from them. 3 So the Lord’s anger(B) burned against Israel, and for a long time he kept them under the power(C) of Hazael king of Aram and Ben-Hadad(D) his son.
4 Then Jehoahaz sought(E) the Lord’s favor, and the Lord listened to him, for he saw(F) how severely the king of Aram was oppressing(G) Israel. 5 The Lord provided a deliverer(H) for Israel, and they escaped from the power of Aram. So the Israelites lived in their own homes as they had before. 6 But they did not turn away from the sins(I) of the house of Jeroboam, which he had caused Israel to commit; they continued in them. Also, the Asherah pole[a](J) remained standing in Samaria.
7 Nothing had been left(K) of the army of Jehoahaz except fifty horsemen, ten chariots and ten thousand foot soldiers, for the king of Aram had destroyed the rest and made them like the dust(L) at threshing time.
8 As for the other events of the reign of Jehoahaz, all he did and his achievements, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel? 9 Jehoahaz rested with his ancestors and was buried in Samaria. And Jehoash[b] his son succeeded him as king.
Jehoash King of Israel
10 In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah, Jehoash son of Jehoahaz became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned sixteen years. 11 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord and did not turn away from any of the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit; he continued in them.
12 As for the other events of the reign of Jehoash, all he did and his achievements, including his war against Amaziah(M) king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the annals(N) of the kings of Israel? 13 Jehoash rested with his ancestors, and Jeroboam(O) succeeded him on the throne. Jehoash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
14 Now Elisha had been suffering from the illness from which he died. Jehoash king of Israel went down to see him and wept over him. “My father! My father!” he cried. “The chariots(P) and horsemen of Israel!”
15 Elisha said, “Get a bow and some arrows,”(Q) and he did so. 16 “Take the bow in your hands,” he said to the king of Israel. When he had taken it, Elisha put his hands on the king’s hands.
17 “Open the east window,” he said, and he opened it. “Shoot!”(R) Elisha said, and he shot. “The Lord’s arrow of victory, the arrow of victory over Aram!” Elisha declared. “You will completely destroy the Arameans at Aphek.”(S)
18 Then he said, “Take the arrows,” and the king took them. Elisha told him, “Strike the ground.” He struck it three times and stopped. 19 The man of God was angry with him and said, “You should have struck the ground five or six times; then you would have defeated Aram and completely destroyed it. But now you will defeat it only three times.”(T)
20 Elisha died and was buried.
Now Moabite raiders(U) used to enter the country every spring. 21 Once while some Israelites were burying a man, suddenly they saw a band of raiders; so they threw the man’s body into Elisha’s tomb. When the body touched Elisha’s bones, the man came to life(V) and stood up on his feet.
22 Hazael king of Aram oppressed(W) Israel throughout the reign of Jehoahaz. 23 But the Lord was gracious to them and had compassion and showed concern for them because of his covenant(X) with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. To this day he has been unwilling to destroy(Y) them or banish them from his presence.(Z)
24 Hazael king of Aram died, and Ben-Hadad(AA) his son succeeded him as king. 25 Then Jehoash son of Jehoahaz recaptured from Ben-Hadad son of Hazael the towns he had taken in battle from his father Jehoahaz. Three times(AB) Jehoash defeated him, and so he recovered(AC) the Israelite towns.

Jehoahaz Reigns in Israel
13 In the twenty-third year of (A)Joash[a] the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, (B)Jehoahaz the son of Jehu became king over Israel in Samaria, and reigned seventeen years. 2 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and followed the (C)sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin. He did not [b]depart from them.
3 Then (D)the anger of the Lord was aroused against Israel, and He delivered them into the hand of (E)Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of (F)Ben-Hadad the son of Hazael, all their days. 4 So Jehoahaz (G)pleaded with the Lord, and the Lord listened to him; for (H)He saw the oppression of Israel, because the king of Syria oppressed them. 5 (I)Then the Lord gave Israel a deliverer, so that they escaped from under the hand of the Syrians; and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents as before. 6 Nevertheless they did not depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who had made Israel sin, but walked in them; (J)and the [c]wooden image also remained in Samaria. 7 For He left of the army of Jehoahaz only fifty horsemen, ten chariots, and ten thousand foot soldiers; for the king of Syria had destroyed them (K)and made them (L)like the dust at threshing.
8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, all that he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 9 So Jehoahaz [d]rested with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria. Then [e]Joash his son reigned in his place.
Jehoash Reigns in Israel
10 In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah, [f]Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz became king over Israel in Samaria, and reigned sixteen years. 11 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord. He did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin, but walked in them.
12 (M)Now the rest of the acts of Joash, (N)all that he did, and (O)his might with which he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 13 So Joash (P)rested[g] with his fathers. Then Jeroboam sat on his throne. And Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
Death of Elisha
14 Elisha had become sick with the illness of which he would die. Then Joash the king of Israel came down to him, and wept over his face, and said, “O my father, my father, (Q)the chariots of Israel and their horsemen!”
15 And Elisha said to him, “Take a bow and some arrows.” So he took himself a bow and some arrows. 16 Then he said to the king of Israel, “Put your hand on the bow.” So he put his hand on it, and Elisha put his hands on the king’s hands. 17 And he said, “Open the east window”; and he opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot”; and he shot. And he said, “The arrow of the Lord’s deliverance and the arrow of deliverance from Syria; for you must strike the Syrians at (R)Aphek till you have destroyed them.” 18 Then he said, “Take the arrows”; so he took them. And he said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground”; so he struck three times, and stopped. 19 And the man of God was angry with him, and said, “You should have struck five or six times; then you would have struck Syria till you had destroyed it! (S)But now you will strike Syria only three times.”
20 Then Elisha [h]died, and they buried him. And the (T)raiding bands from Moab invaded the land in the spring of the year. 21 So it was, as they were burying a man, that suddenly they spied a band of raiders; and they put the man in the tomb of Elisha; and when the man was let down and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived and stood on his feet.
Israel Recaptures Cities from Syria
22 And (U)Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz. 23 But the Lord was (V)gracious to them, had compassion on them, and (W)regarded them, (X)because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not yet destroy them or cast them from His presence.
24 Now Hazael king of Syria died. Then Ben-Hadad his son reigned in his place. 25 And [i]Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz recaptured from the hand of Ben-Hadad, the son of Hazael, the cities which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. (Y)Three times Joash defeated him and recaptured the cities of Israel.
