Melachim Bais 13:18-20

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁸ And he said, Take the khitzim (arrows). And he took them. And he said unto Melech Yisroel, Strike the ground. And he struck shalosh pe’amim (three times) and stopped.

¹⁹ And the Ish HaElohim was in wrath with him, and said, Thou shouldest have struck chamesh or shesh pe’amim; then hadst thou struck down Aram till thou hadst completely destroyed it; whereas now thou shalt defeat Aram but 3 pe’amim.

²⁰ And Elishah died, and they buried him. And the raiding parties of Mo’av would invade the land at the beginning of the shanah.
