2 Kings 13:14-16

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

Death of Elisha

¹⁴ Now when Elisha had fallen sick with the illness of which he was to die, King Joash of Israel went down to him, and wept before him, crying, ‘My father, my father! The chariots 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’; and he drew it. Elisha laid his hands on the king’s hands.
