2 Kings 13

The Message Bible MSG

1 In the twenty-third year of Joash son of Ahaziah king of Judah, Jehoahaz son of Jehu became king of Israel in Samaria - a rule of seventeen years.

2 He lived an evil life before God, walking step for step in the tracks of Jeroboam son of Nebat who led Israel into a life of sin, swerving neither left or right.

3 Exasperated, God was furious with Israel and turned them over to Hazael king of Aram and Ben-Hadad son of Hazael. This domination went on for a long time.

4 Then Jehoahaz prayed for a softening of God's anger, and God listened. He realized how wretched Israel had become under the brutalities of the king of Aram.

5 So God provided a savior for Israel who brought them out from under Aram's oppression. The children of Israel were again able to live at peace in their own homes.

6 But it didn't make any difference: They didn't change their lives, didn't turn away from the Jeroboam-sins that now characterized Israel, including the sex-and-religion shrines of Asherah still flourishing in Samaria.

7 Nothing was left of Jehoahaz's army after Hazael's oppression except for fifty cavalry, ten chariots, and ten thousand infantry. The king of Aram had decimated the rest, leaving behind him mostly chaff.

8 The rest of the life and times of Jehoahaz, the record of his accomplishments, are written in The Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

9 Jehoahaz died and was buried with his ancestors in Samaria. His son Jehoash succeeded him as king.

10 In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah, Jehoash son of Jehoahaz became king of Israel in Samaria - a reign of sixteen years.

11 In God's eyes he lived an evil life. He didn't deviate one bit from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who led Israel into a life of sin. He plodded along in the same tracks, step after step.

12 The rest of the life and times of Jehoash, the record of his accomplishments and his war against Amaziah king of Judah, are written in The Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

13 Jehoash died and joined his ancestors. Jeroboam took over his throne. Jehoash was buried in Samaria in the royal cemetery.

14 Elisha came down sick. It was the sickness of which he would soon die. Jehoash king of Israel paid him a visit. When he saw him he wept openly, crying, "My father, my father! Chariot and horsemen of Israel!"

15 Elisha told him, "Go and get a bow and some arrows." The king brought him the bow and arrows.

16 Then he told the king, "Put your hand on the bow." He put his hand on the bow. Then Elisha put his hand over the hand of the king.

17 Elisha said, "Now open the east window." He opened it. Then he said, "Shoot!" And he shot. "The arrow of God's salvation!" exclaimed Elisha. "The arrow of deliverance from Aram! You will do battle against Aram until there's nothing left of it."

18 "Now pick up the other arrows," said Elisha. He picked them up. Then he said to the king of Israel, "Strike the ground." The king struck the ground three times and then quit.

19 The Holy Man became angry with him: "Why didn't you hit the ground five or six times? Then you would beat Aram until he was finished. As it is, you'll defeat him three times only."

20 Then Elisha died and they buried him.

21 One day, some men were burying a man and spotted the raiders. They threw the man into Elisha's tomb and got away. When the body touched Elisha's bones, the man came alive, stood up, and walked out on his own two feet.

22 Hazael king of Aram badgered and bedeviled Israel all through the reign of Jehoahaz.

23 But God was gracious and showed mercy to them. He stuck with them out of respect for his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He never gave up on them, never even considered discarding them, even to this day.

24 Hazael king of Aram died. His son Ben-Hadad was the next king.

25 Jehoash son of Jehoahaz turned things around and took back the cities that Ben-Hadad son of Hazael had taken from his father Jehoahaz. Jehoash went to war three times and defeated him each time, recapturing the cites of Israel.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 anno vicesimo tertio Ioas filii Ahaziae regis Iudae regnavit Ioachaz filius Hieu super Israhel in Samaria decem et septem annis

2 et fecit malum coram Domino secutusque est peccata Hieroboam filii Nabath qui peccare fecit Israhel non declinavit ab eis

3 iratusque est furor Domini contra Israhel et tradidit eos in manu Azahelis regis Syriae et in manu Benadad filii Azahel cunctis diebus

4 deprecatus est autem Ioachaz faciem Domini et audivit eum Dominus vidit enim angustiam Israhel qua adtriverat eos rex Syriae

5 et dedit Dominus Israheli salvatorem et liberatus est de manu Syriae habitaveruntque filii Israhel in tabernaculis suis sicut heri et nudius tertius

6 verumtamen non recesserunt a peccatis domus Hieroboam qui peccare fecit Israhel in ipsis ambulaverunt siquidem et lucus permansit in Samaria

7 et non sunt derelicti Ioachaz de populo nisi quinquaginta equites et decem currus et decem milia peditum interfecerat enim eos rex Syriae et redegerat quasi pulverem in tritura areae

8 reliqua autem sermonum Ioachaz et universa quae fecit sed et fortitudo eius nonne haec scripta sunt in libro sermonum dierum regum Israhel

9 dormivitque Ioachaz cum patribus suis et sepelierunt eum in Samaria regnavitque Ioas filius eius pro eo

10 anno tricesimo septimo Ioas regis Iuda regnavit Ioas filius Ioachaz super Israhel in Samaria sedecim annis

11 et fecit quod malum est in conspectu Domini non declinavit ab omnibus peccatis Hieroboam filii Nabath qui peccare fecit Israhel in ipsis ambulavit

12 reliqua autem sermonum Ioas et universa quae fecit sed et fortitudo eius quomodo pugnaverit contra Amasiam regem Iuda nonne haec scripta sunt in libro sermonum regum Israhel

13 et dormivit Ioas cum patribus suis Hieroboam autem sedit super solium eius porro Ioas sepultus est in Samaria cum regibus Israhel

14 Heliseus autem aegrotabat infirmitate qua et mortuus est descenditque ad eum Ioas rex Israhel et flebat coram eo dicebatque pater mi pater mi currus Israhel et auriga eius

15 et ait illi Heliseus adfer arcum et sagittas cumque adtulisset ad eum arcum et sagittas

16 dixit ad regem Israhel pone manum tuam super arcum et cum posuisset ille manum suam superposuit Heliseus manus suas manibus regis

17 et ait aperi fenestram orientalem cumque aperuisset dixit Heliseus iace sagittam et iecit et ait Heliseus sagitta salutis Domini et sagitta salutis contra Syriam percutiesque Syriam in Afec donec consumas eam

18 et ait tolle sagittas qui cum tulisset rursum dixit ei percute iaculo terram et cum percussisset tribus vicibus et stetisset

19 iratus est contra eum vir Dei et ait si percussisses quinquies aut sexies sive septies percussisses Syriam usque ad consummationem nunc autem tribus vicibus percuties eam

20 mortuus est ergo Heliseus et sepelierunt eum latrunculi quoque de Moab venerunt in terra in ipso anno

21 quidam autem sepelientes hominem viderunt latrunculos et proiecerunt cadaver in sepulchro Helisei quod ambulavit et tetigit ossa Helisei et revixit homo et stetit super pedes suos

22 igitur Azahel rex Syriae adflixit Israhel cunctis diebus Ioachaz

23 et misertus est Dominus eorum et reversus est ad eos propter pactum suum quod habebat cum Abraham Isaac et Iacob et noluit disperdere eos neque proicere penitus usque in praesens tempus

24 mortuus est autem Azahel rex Syriae et regnavit Benadad filius eius pro eo

25 porro Ioas filius Ioachaz tulit urbes de manu Benadad filii Azahel quas tulerat de manu Ioachaz patris sui iure proelii tribus vicibus percussit eum Ioas et reddidit civitates Israheli
