2 Kings 13:16-18

Modern English Version

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.

¹⁷ Then he said, “Open the east window.” So he opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot.” So he shot. Then he said, “The arrow of the deliverance of the Lord, and the arrow of deliverance from Aram; for you must strike Aram in Aphek until you have destroyed them.”

¹⁸ Then he said, “Take the arrows.” So he took them. Then he said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground.” So he struck it three times and stood there.
