New Testament

2 Kings 13:11-16 Modern English Version (MEV)

11. He did evil in the sight of the Lord. He did not turn aside from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin, but he walked in them.

12. The rest of the deeds of Joash, all that he did and his power with which he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel?

13. So Joash slept with his fathers, and Jeroboam sat on his throne. Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.

14. Now Elisha had become sick with the illness of which he would die. So Joash the king of Israel went down to him and wept before him, and said, “My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and its horsemen.”

15. 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.” So he drew it. Elisha put his hands on the king’s hands.
