Listen to 2 Reyes 13:14-19
14 Estaba Eliseo enfermo de aquella su enfermedad de que muri贸. Y descendi贸 a 茅l Jo谩s rey de Israel, y llorando delante de 茅l, dijo: 隆Padre m铆o, padre m铆o, carros de Israel y su gente de a caballo!
15 Y le dijo Eliseo: Toma el arco y las saetas. Tom贸 茅l entonces el arco y las saetas.
16 Y dijo Eliseo al rey de Israel: Pon tu mano sobre el arco como para tirar . Y puso 茅l su mano sobre el arco. Entonces puso Eliseo sus manos sobre las manos del rey,
17 y dijo: Abre la ventana de hacia el oriente. Y cuando 茅l la abri贸 dijo Eliseo: Tira. Y tirando 茅l, dijo Eliseo : Saeta de salud del SE脩OR, y saeta de salud contra Siria; porque herir谩s a los siros en Afec, hasta consumirlos.
18 Y le volvi贸 a decir: Toma las saetas. Y luego que el rey de Israel las hubo tomado, le dijo: Hiere la tierra. Y 茅l hiri贸 tres veces, y ces贸.
19 Entonces el var贸n de Dios, enojado con 茅l, le dijo: A herir cinco o seis veces, herir铆as a Siria, hasta no quedar ninguno; pero ahora tres veces herir谩s a Siria.

2 Reyes 13:14-19 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO 2 KINGS 13

This chapter gives an account of the wicked reign of Jehoahaz son of Jehu king of Israel, and of the low estate he was brought into by the Syrians, 2Ki 13:1-9, and of the reign of his son Joash, 2Ki 13:10-13, and of the sickness and death of Elisha; of the visit Joash made him in his sickness; and of his prediction of the king's success against the Syrians; and of the reviving of a dead man cast into the prophet's sepulchre, 2Ki 13:14-21 and of the success of Joash against the Syrians, according to the prediction of the prophet, 2Ki 13:22-25.

\\of Judah\\ The same year he was so zealous and busy in repairing the temple, 2Ki 12:6,

\\Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria\\; whereas Joash began to reign in the seventh year of Jehu, and Jehu reigned but twenty eight years, 2Ki 10:36, and 2Ki 12:1, this could be but the twenty first of Joash; to reconcile which it must be observed, that it was at the beginning of the seventh year of Jehu that Joash began to reign, and at the beginning of the twenty third of Joash that Jehoahaz began to reign, as the Jewish commentators observe:

\\and reigned seventeen years\\; the two last of which were in common with his son, as Junius, see 2Ki 13:10 17831-941219-2104-2Ki13.2
