Síðari bók konunganna 13
Icelandic Bible
13 Á tuttugasta og þriðja ríkisári Jóasar Ahasíasonar Júdakonungs varð Jóahas Jehúson konungur yfir Ísrael í Samaríu og ríkti seytján ár.
2 Hann gjörði það, sem illt var í augum Drottins, og drýgði sömu syndirnar og Jeróbóam Nebatsson, þær er hann hafði komið Ísrael til að drýgja. Hann lét ekki af þeim.
3 Þá upptendraðist reiði Drottins gegn Ísrael, og hann gaf þá í hendur Hasael Sýrlandskonungi og Benhadad syni Hasaels allan þann tíma.
4 En Jóahas blíðkaði Drottin, og Drottinn bænheyrði hann, því að hann sá ánauð Ísraels, hversu Sýrlandskonungur kúgaði þá.
5 Og Drottinn sendi Ísrael hjálparmann, svo að þeir losnuðu undan valdi Sýrlendinga, og Ísraelsmenn bjuggu í tjöldum sínum sem áður.
6 Þó létu þeir eigi af syndum Jeróbóams ættar, þeim er hann hafði komið Ísrael til að drýgja. Þeir héldu áfram að drýgja þær. Aséran stóð og kyrr í Samaríu.
7 Jóahas átti ekkert lið eftir nema fimmtíu riddara, tíu vagna og tíu þúsund fótgönguliða, því að Sýrlandskonungur hafði gjöreytt þeim og gjört þá sem ryk við þreskingu.
8 Það sem meira er að segja um Jóahas og allt, sem hann gjörði, og hreystiverk hans, það er ritað í Árbókum Ísraelskonunga.
9 Og Jóahas lagðist til hvíldar hjá feðrum sínum, og hann var grafinn í Samaríu. Og Jóas sonur hans tók ríki eftir hann.
10 Á þrítugasta og sjöunda ríkisári Jóasar Júdakonungs varð Jóas Jóahasson konungur yfir Ísrael í Samaríu og ríkti sextán ár.
11 Hann gjörði það, sem illt var í augum Drottins. Hann lét ekki af neinum syndum Jeróbóams Nebatssonar, þeim er hann hafði komið Ísrael til að drýgja. Hann hélt áfram að drýgja þær.
12 Það sem meira er að segja um Jóas og allt, sem hann gjörði, og hreystiverk hans, hversu hann háði ófrið við Amasía Júdakonung, það er ritað í Árbókum Ísraelskonunga.
13 Og Jóas lagðist til hvíldar hjá feðrum sínum, og Jeróbóam settist í hásæti hans. Og Jóas var grafinn í Samaríu hjá Ísraelskonungum.
14 Elísa tók sótt, er leiddi hann til bana. Fór þá Jóas konungur í Ísrael ofan til hans, grét yfir honum og sagði: "Faðir minn, faðir minn, þú Ísraels vagn og riddarar!"
15 En Elísa sagði við hann: "Tak boga og örvar." Og hann færði honum boga og örvar.
16 Þá sagði hann við Ísraelskonunginn: "Legg hönd þína á bogann." Hann gjörði svo. Þá lagði Elísa hendur sínar ofan á hendur konungs.
17 Síðan mælti hann: "Opna þú gluggann gegnt austri." Og hann gjörði svo. Þá sagði Elísa: "Skjót!" Og hann skaut. Og Elísa mælti: "Sigurör frá Drottni! Já, sigurör yfir Sýrlendingum! Þú munt vinna sigur á Sýrlendingum í Afek, uns þeir eru gjöreyddir."
18 Síðan sagði hann: "Tak örvarnar." Og hann tók þær. Þá sagði hann við Ísraelskonunginn: "Slá þú á jörðina." Og hann sló þrisvar sinnum, en hætti síðan.
19 Þá gramdist guðsmanninum við hann og sagði: "Þú hefðir átt að slá fimm eða sex sinnum, þá mundir þú hafa unnið sigur á Sýrlendingum, uns þeir hefðu verið gjöreyddir, en nú munt þú aðeins vinna þrisvar sinnum sigur á Sýrlendingum."
20 Elísa dó og var grafinn. En ræningjaflokkar frá Móab brutust þá inn í landið á ári hverju.
21 Og svo bar við, er verið var að grafa mann nokkurn, að menn komu allt í einu auga á ræningjaflokk. Fleygðu þeir þá manninum í gröf Elísa og höfðu sig á brott. En er maðurinn snart bein Elísa, þá lifnaði hann og reis á fætur.
22 Hasael Sýrlandskonungur kreppti að Ísrael alla ævi Jóahasar.
23 En Drottinn miskunnaði þeim og sá aumur á þeim og sneri sér til þeirra sakir sáttmála síns við Abraham, Ísak og Jakob. Vildi hann eigi, að þeir skyldu tortímast, hafði og eigi útskúfað þeim frá augliti sínu til þessa.
24 Og er Hasael Sýrlandskonungur var dáinn og Benhadad sonur hans hafði tekið ríki eftir hann,
25 þá tók Jóas Jóahasson borgirnar aftur frá Benhadad Hasaelssyni, þær er Hasael hafði tekið frá Jóahas föður hans í ófriði. Vann Jóas þrisvar sinnum sigur á honum og náði aftur borgum Ísraels.

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.

King James Version
13 In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah king of Judah Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned seventeen years.
2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.
3 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, all their days.
4 And Jehoahaz besought the Lord, and the Lord hearkened unto him: for he saw the oppression of Israel, because the king of Syria oppressed them.
5 (And the Lord gave Israel a saviour, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians: and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents, as beforetime.
6 Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who made Israel sin, but walked therein: and there remained the grove also in Samaria.)
7 Neither did he leave of the people to Jehoahaz but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and had made them like the dust by 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 And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son reigned in his stead.
10 In the thirty and seventh year of Joash king of Judah began Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned sixteen years.
11 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord; he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin: but he walked therein.
12 And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might wherewith he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
13 And Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat upon his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
14 Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof.
15 And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows. And he took unto him bow and arrows.
16 And he said to the king of Israel, Put thine hand upon the bow. And he put his hand upon it: and Elisha put his hands upon 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 arrow of the Lord's deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria: for thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou have consumed them.
18 And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed.
19 And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it: whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice.
20 And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
21 And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.
22 But Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
23 And the Lord was gracious unto them, and had compassion on them, and had respect unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet.
24 So Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his stead.
25 And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities, which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Three times did Joash beat him, and recovered the cities of Israel.
