¹ In the twenty-third year of Yo’ash son of Aḥ

² And he did evil in the eyes of יהוה, and followed the sins of Yaroḇ

³ And the displeasure of יהוה  burned against Yisra’ĕ

⁴ Then Yeho’aḥ

⁵ And יהוה  gave Yisra’ĕ

⁶ However, they did not turn away from the sins of the house of Yaroḇ

⁷ For He left of the army of Yeho’aḥ

⁸ And the rest of the acts of Yeho’aḥ

⁹ So Yeho’aḥ

¹⁰ In the thirty-seventh year of Yo’ash sovereign of Yehuḏ

¹¹ And he did evil in the eyes of יהוה. He did not turn away from all the sins of Yaroḇ

¹² And the rest of the acts of Yo’ash, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought against Amatsyah sovereign of Yehuḏ

¹³ So Yo’ash slept with his fathers. And Yaroḇ

¹⁴ And Elisha had become sick with the sickness in which he died. And Yo’ash the sovereign of Yisra’ĕ

¹⁵ And Elisha said to him, “Take a bow and some arrows.” And he took a bow and some arrows.

¹⁶ And he said to the sovereign of Yisra’ĕ

¹⁷ and said, “Open the east window.” And he had opened it and Elisha said, “Shoot.” And he shot. Then he said, “The arrow of deliverance of יהוה  and the arrow of deliverance from Aram, for you shall smite Aram at Aphĕ

¹⁸ Then he said, “Take the arrows,” and he took them. And he said to the sovereign of Yisra’ĕ

¹⁹ And the man of Elohim was wroth with him and said, “You should have smitten five or six times, then you would have smitten Aram till its utter destruction. But now you shall smite Aram only three times.”

²⁰ And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the raiding bands from Mo’aḇ

²¹ And it came to be, they were burying a man, and there they saw a raiding band, and cast the man in the tomb of Elisha. And the man fell and touched the bones of Elisha, and came to life and stood on his feet.
