He said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground,” so he struck three times and stopped. ¹⁹ Yet the man of God became angry against him and said, “For striking five or six times, then you would have defeated Aram until finishing them, but now you will defeat Aram only three times.”

²⁰ Elisha died and they buried him. Now the raiding parties of Moab came in the spring.^[a]
