2 Kings 13:13-15

New International Reader's Version

¹³ Jehoash joined the members of his family who had already died. He was buried in the royal tombs in Samaria. Jeroboam became the next king on Israel’s throne after him.

¹⁴ Elisha had been suffering from a sickness. Later he would die from it. Jehoash, the king of Israel, went down to see him. Jehoash wept over him. “My father!” he cried. “You are like a father to me! You, Elisha, are the true chariots and horsemen of Israel!”

¹⁵ Elisha said to Jehoash, “Get a bow and some arrows.” So he did.
