Chapter 13.

00:02.320 --> 00:07.260
In the three and twentieth year of Joash,
the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah,

00:08.500 --> 00:13.560
Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, began to reign
over Israel in Samaria, and reigned

00:13.560 --> 00:14.560
seventeen years.

00:15.840 --> 00:19.820
And he did that which was evil in the
sight of the Lord, and followed the sins

00:19.820 --> 00:23.440
of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat,
which made Israel to sin.

00:23.880 --> 00:25.360
He departed not therefrom.

00:25.960 --> 00:30.240
And the anger of the Lord was kindled
against Israel, and he delivered them into

00:30.240 --> 00:34.640
the hand of Hazael, king of Syria,
and into the hand of Ben-Hadad,

00:34.860 --> 00:36.940
the son of Hazael, all their days.

00:38.000 --> 00:42.000
And Jehoahaz besought the Lord,
and the Lord hearkened unto him,

00:42.340 --> 00:46.260
for he saw the oppression of Israel,
because the king of Syria oppressed them.

00:46.660 --> 00:51.300
And the Lord gave Israel a saviour,
so that they went out from under the hand

00:51.300 --> 00:52.020
of the Syrians.

00:52.640 --> 00:55.900
And the children of Israel dwelt in their
tents as before time.

00:56.720 --> 01:00.360
Nevertheless, they departed not from the
sins of the house of Jeroboam,

01:00.580 --> 01:03.640
who made Israel sin, but walked therein.

01:04.460 --> 01:07.040
And there remained the grove also in
Samaria.

01:08.080 --> 01:12.480
Neither did he leave of the people to
Jehoahaz but fifty horsemen, and ten

01:12.480 --> 01:16.980
chariots, and ten thousand footmen,
for the king of Syria had destroyed them,

01:17.600 --> 01:19.760
and had made them like the dust by
threshing.

01:20.640 --> 01:24.240
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz,
and all that he did, and his might,

01:24.980 --> 01:27.900
are they not written in the book of the
chronicles of the kings of Israel?

01:28.660 --> 01:32.640
And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers,
and they buried him in Samaria.

01:33.080 --> 01:35.320
And Joash his son reigned in his stead.

01:36.180 --> 01:41.280
In the thirty and seventh year of Joash
king of Judah, began Jehoash the son of

01:41.280 --> 01:45.860
Jehoahaz to reign over Israel in Samaria,
and reigned sixteen years.

01:46.620 --> 01:49.180
And he did that which was evil in the
sight of the Lord.

01:49.920 --> 01:54.800
He departed not from all the sins of
Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel

01:54.800 --> 01:56.860
sin, but he walked therein.

01:57.540 --> 02:01.180
And the rest of the acts of Jehoash,
and all that he did, and his might,

02:01.280 --> 02:05.760
wherewith he fought against Amaziah king
of Judah, are they not written in the book

02:05.760 --> 02:07.600
of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

02:08.500 --> 02:12.800
And Jehoash slept with his fathers,
and Jeroboam sat upon his throne,

02:13.660 --> 02:16.960
and Jehoash was buried in Samaria with the
kings of Israel.

02:17.720 --> 02:21.160
Now Elisha was fallen sick of his
sickness, whereof he died.

02:21.720 --> 02:25.900
And Jehoash the king of Israel came down
unto him, and wept over his face,

02:25.960 --> 02:32.620
and said, O my father, my father,
the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen

02:32.620 --> 02:33.180
thereof.

02:33.600 --> 02:36.860
And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and
arrows.

02:37.020 --> 02:38.800
And he took unto him bow and arrows.

02:39.100 --> 02:42.220
And he said to the king of Israel,
Put thine hand upon the bow.

02:42.500 --> 02:43.860
And he put his hand upon it.

02:44.220 --> 02:46.480
And Elisha put his hands upon the king's
hands.

02:46.720 --> 02:49.340
And he said, Open the window eastward.

02:49.640 --> 02:50.440
And he opened it.

02:50.920 --> 02:52.580
Then Elisha said, Shoot.

02:52.880 --> 02:53.880
And he shot.

02:54.160 --> 02:58.520
And he said, The arrow of the Lord's
deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance

02:58.520 --> 02:59.140
from Syria.

02:59.340 --> 03:03.720
For thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek,
till thou have consumed them.

03:03.920 --> 03:05.680
And he said, Take the arrows.

03:05.960 --> 03:06.680
And he took them.

03:07.220 --> 03:10.640
And he said unto the king of Israel,
Smite upon the ground.

03:11.100 --> 03:12.840
And he smote thrice, and stayed.

03:13.540 --> 03:18.420
And the man of God was wroth with him,
and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five

03:18.420 --> 03:19.320
or six times.

03:19.940 --> 03:23.520
Then hast thou smitten Syria, till thou
hast consumed it.

03:24.040 --> 03:28.020
Whereas now thou shalt smite Syria,
but thrice.

03:28.200 --> 03:30.380
And Elisha died, and they buried him.

03:31.140 --> 03:34.720
And the bands of the Moabites invaded the
land at the coming in of the year.

03:35.580 --> 03:40.620
And it came to pass, as they were burying
a man, that, behold, they spied a band of

03:40.620 --> 03:40.880
men.

03:41.660 --> 03:44.180
And they cast the man into the sepulchre
of Elisha.

03:44.560 --> 03:47.680
And when the man was let down,
and touched the bones of Elisha,

03:47.980 --> 03:50.200
he revived, and stood up on his feet.

03:50.880 --> 03:55.600
But Hazael, king of Syria, oppressed
Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.

03:55.980 --> 04:00.060
And the Lord was gracious unto them,
and had compassion on them, and had

04:00.060 --> 04:04.960
respect unto them, because of his covenant
with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,

04:05.360 --> 04:09.700
and would not destroy them, neither cast
he them from his presence as yet.

04:10.380 --> 04:14.980
So Hazael, king of Syria, died,
and Ben-Hadad, his son, reigned in his

04:14.980 --> 04:15.260
stead.

04:15.800 --> 04:20.300
And Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz,
took again out of the hand of Ben-Hadad,

04:20.420 --> 04:24.360
the son of Hazael, the cities,
which he had taken out of the hand of

04:24.360 --> 04:26.260
Jehoahaz, his father, by war.

04:26.880 --> 04:30.820
Three times did Jehoash beat him,
and recovered the cities of Israel.
