EasyEnglish Bible

Elisha dies

¹⁴ When Jehoash was still king of Israel, Elisha became very ill. It was the illness from which he would soon die. Jehoash went to visit him. Jehoash stood beside Elisha and he wept. Jehoash said, ‘My father! My father! You are riding in Israel's chariot! Israel's men are riding on the horses!’^[a]

¹⁵ Elisha said to King Jehoash, ‘Fetch a bow and some arrows.’ The king did that. ¹⁶ Then Elisha said to the king of Israel, ‘Prepare to shoot an arrow.’ When he had done that, Elisha put his hands on the king's hands.
