Giê-hô-a-ha Trị Vì I-sơ-ra-ên
13 Năm thứ hai mươi ba của triều đại Giô-ách con của A-ha-xi-a nước Giu-đa, Giê-hô-a-ha con của Giê-hu lên ngôi làm vua I-sơ-ra-ên tại Sa-ma-ri. Ông trị vì mười bảy năm. 2 Ông làm điều tội lỗi trước mặt Chúa, đi theo những tội lỗi của Giê-rô-bô-am con của Nê-bát, tức những điều ông ấy đã gây cho I-sơ-ra-ên phạm tội. Ông chẳng từ bỏ những tội lỗi đó. 3 Cơn giận của Chúa nổi lên với I-sơ-ra-ên. Ngài phó họ vào tay Ha-xa-ên vua A-ram và vào tay Bên Ha-đát con của Ha-xa-ên suốt thời hai vua đó. 4 Bấy giờ Giê-hô-a-ha cầu xin Chúa; Chúa nhậm lời ông vì Ngài thấy cảnh áp bức mà dân I-sơ-ra-ên gánh chịu, thể nào vua A-ram đã đàn áp họ. 5 Vì thế Chúa đã ban cho dân I-sơ-ra-ên một người giải cứu, để họ thoát khỏi quyền lực của dân A-ram, và mọi người trong I-sơ-ra-ên được sống an lạc dưới mái lều mình như ngày trước. 6 Tuy nhiên họ vẫn không từ bỏ những tội lỗi của nhà Giê-rô-bô-am, tức những điều ông ấy đã gây cho I-sơ-ra-ên phạm tội, nhưng họ cứ phạm các tội lỗi đó, đến nỗi trụ thờ Nữ Thần A-sê-ra vẫn còn đứng sừng sững tại Sa-ma-ri.
7 Chúa đã để cho đội quân của Giê-hô-a-ha chỉ còn lại năm mươi kỵ binh, mười xe chiến mã, và mười ngàn bộ binh, vì vua A-ram đã tiêu diệt họ và nghiền nát họ như bụi nơi sân đập lúa.
8 Những việc khác của Giê-hô-a-ha, những việc ông thực hiện, quyền lực của ông, há chẳng được chép trong sách Sử Ký của Các Vua I-sơ-ra-ên sao? 9 Giê-hô-a-ha an giấc với tổ tiên ông và được chôn tại Sa-ma-ri. Giê-hô-ách[a] con trai ông lên ngôi kế vị.
Giê-hô-ách Trị Vì I-sơ-ra-ên
10 Năm thứ ba mươi bảy của triều đại Giô-ách vua Giu-đa, Giê-hô-ách con của Giê-hô-a-ha lên ngôi làm vua I-sơ-ra-ên tại Sa-ma-ri. Ông trị vì mười sáu năm. 11 Ông làm điều tội lỗi trước mặt Chúa. Ông chẳng từ bỏ những tội lỗi của Giê-rô-bô-am con của Nê-bát, tức những điều ông ấy đã gây cho I-sơ-ra-ên phạm tội, nhưng ông cứ đi theo con đường tội lỗi đó. 12 Những việc khác của Giê-hô-ách; tất cả những việc ông làm, những chiến công của ông khi đánh nhau với A-ma-xi-a vua Giu-đa há chẳng được chép trong sách Sử Ký của Các Vua I-sơ-ra-ên sao? 13 Giê-hô-ách an giấc với các tổ tiên ông. Giê-rô-bô-am lên ngôi kế vị. Giê-hô-ách được chôn tại Sa-ma-ri, trong nghĩa trang của các vua I-sơ-ra-ên.
Ê-li-sê Qua Ðời
14 Khi ấy Ê-li-sê lâm bịnh và cơn bịnh ấy khiến ông qua đời. Vua Giê-hô-ách của I-sơ-ra-ên xuống thăm ông. Vua khóc trước mặt ông và than rằng, “Cha ơi! Cha ơi! Các xe chiến mã và các kỵ binh của I-sơ-ra-ên ơi!”
15 Ê-li-sê nói với ông, “Xin ngài lấy cung và tên ra.” Ông lấy cung và tên ra.
16 Ê-li-sê nói với vua I-sơ-ra-ên, “Xin ngài giương cung lên.” Vua giương cung lên.
Ê-li-sê đặt tay ông trên tay vua, 17 rồi bảo, “Xin ngài mở cửa sổ về hướng đông.” Vua đến mở cửa sổ ấy.
Ê-li-sê nói, “Ngài hãy bắn đi.” Vua liền bắn.
Bấy giờ Ê-li-sê nói, “Ấy là mũi tên chiến thắng của Chúa, mũi tên chiến thắng dân A-ram. Vì ngài sẽ đánh bại dân A-ram tại A-phéc cho đến khi ngài tận diệt chúng.”
18 Ông nói tiếp, “Xin ngài lấy một bó tên.” Vua lấy ra một bó tên.
Ông nói với vua I-sơ-ra-ên, “Xin đập chúng xuống đất.” Vua đập chúng xuống đất ba lần rồi ngừng lại.
19 Bấy giờ người của Ðức Chúa Trời nổi giận với vua và nói, “Ðáng lẽ ngài phải đập năm hay sáu lần, như thế ngài mới có thể tận diệt chúng được, nhưng bây giờ ngài chỉ có thể đánh bại dân A-ram ba lần thôi.”
20 Sau đó Ê-li-sê qua đời. Người ta đem thi thể ông an táng trong một ngôi mộ. Thuở ấy cứ mỗi độ xuân sang, các toán quân Mô-áp hay xâm nhập vào xứ để cướp bóc. 21 Nhằm lúc người ta đem chôn một người chết, họ thấy một toán quân cướp tiến đến, nên họ vội vàng ném thây người chết vào mộ của Ê-li-sê để chạy thoát thân. Vừa khi thây người chết đụng vào hài cốt của Ê-li-sê, người chết đó liền sống lại và đứng dậy.
I-sơ-ra-ên Thu Hồi Các Thành Ðã Bị Mất vào Tay Dân A-ram
22 Ha-xa-ên vua A-ram đàn áp I-sơ-ra-ên suốt triều đại của Giê-hô-a-ha. 23 Nhưng Chúa đã dủ lòng nhân của Ngài đối với họ, thương xót họ, và đoái đến họ; vì giao ước của Ngài đối với Áp-ra-ham, I-sác, và Gia-cốp, nên cho đến lúc ấy Ngài vẫn không diệt họ và không cất họ khỏi thánh nhan Ngài.
24 Khi Ha-xa-ên vua A-ram băng hà, Bên Ha-đát con trai ông ấy lên nối ngôi, 25 Giê-hô-ách con của Giê-hô-a-ha lấy lại khỏi tay Bên Ha-đát con của Ha-xa-ên các thành mà Ha-xa-ên đã chiếm lấy của Giê-hô-a-ha cha ông qua các cuộc chiến tranh trước. Giê-hô-ách đánh bại Bên Ha-đát ba lần và lấy lại các thành đã bị mất về cho I-sơ-ra-ên.

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.

Jehoahaz Reigns in Israel
13 In the twenty-third year of Joash the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and he reigned seventeen years. 2 He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, (A)which he made Israel to sin; he did not depart from them. 3 (B)And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he gave them continually into the hand of (C)Hazael king of Syria and into the hand of (D)Ben-hadad the son of Hazael. 4 Then Jehoahaz (E)sought the favor of the Lord, and the Lord listened to him, (F)for he saw the oppression of Israel, how the king of Syria oppressed them. 5 (Therefore the Lord gave Israel (G)a savior, so that they escaped from the hand of the Syrians, and the people of Israel lived in (H)their homes as formerly. 6 Nevertheless, they did not depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, (I)which he made Israel to sin, but walked[a] in them; and (J)the Asherah also remained in Samaria.) 7 For there was not left to Jehoahaz an army of more than fifty horsemen and ten chariots and ten thousand footmen, for the king of Syria had destroyed them and made them like the dust (K)at threshing. 8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz and 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 slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria, and Joash his son reigned in his place.
Jehoash Reigns in Israel
10 In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah, Jehoash[b] the son of Jehoahaz began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and he reigned sixteen years. 11 He also did what was evil in the sight of the Lord. He did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, (L)which he made Israel to sin, but he walked in them. 12 (M)Now the rest of the acts of Joash (N)and all that he did, (O)and the 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 slept with his fathers, and Jeroboam sat on his throne. And Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
The Death of Elisha
14 Now when Elisha had fallen sick with the illness of which he was to die, Joash king of Israel went down to him and wept before him, crying, (P)“My father, my father! The chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” 15 And Elisha said to him, “Take a bow and arrows.” So he took a bow and arrows. 16 Then he said to the king of Israel, “Draw the bow,” and he drew it. And Elisha laid his hands on the king's hands. 17 And he said, “Open the window eastward,” and he opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot,” and he shot. And he said, “The Lord's arrow of victory, the arrow of victory over Syria! For you shall fight the Syrians in (Q)Aphek until you have made an end of them.” 18 And he said, “Take the arrows,” and he took them. And he said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground with them.” And he struck three times and stopped. 19 Then (R)the man of God was angry with him and said, “You should have struck five or six times; then you would have struck down Syria until you had made an end of it, but now you will strike down Syria only (S)three times.”
20 So Elisha died, and they buried him. Now bands of (T)Moabites used to invade the land in the spring of the year. 21 And as a man was being buried, behold, a marauding band was seen and the man was thrown into the grave of Elisha, and as soon as the man touched the bones of Elisha, he revived and stood on his feet.
22 (U)Now Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz. 23 (V)But the Lord was gracious to them and had compassion on them, (W)and he turned toward them, (X)because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, nor has he cast them from his presence until now.
24 When Hazael king of Syria died, Ben-hadad his son became king in his place. 25 Then Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again from Ben-hadad the son of Hazael the cities (Y)that he had taken from Jehoahaz his father in war. (Z)Three times Joash defeated him and recovered the cities of Israel.
