2 Kings 13 (WEBP)

[1] In the twenty-third year of Joash the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria for seventeen years.
[2] He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin. He didn’t depart from it.
[3] Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, continually.
[4] Jehoahaz begged Yahweh, and Yahweh listened to him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, how the king of Syria oppressed them.
[5] (Yahweh gave Israel a savior, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians; and the children of Israel lived in their tents as before.
[6] Nevertheless they didn’t depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel to sin, but walked in them; and the Asherah also remained in Samaria.)
[7] For he didn’t leave to Jehoahaz of the people any more than fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria destroyed them and made them like the dust in threshing.
[8] Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
[9] Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria; and Joash his son reigned in his place.
[10] In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah, Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz began to reign over Israel in Samaria for sixteen years.
[11] He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight. He didn’t depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; but he walked in them.
[12] Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
[13] Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat on his throne. Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
[14] Now Elisha became sick with the illness of which he died; and Joash the king of Israel came down to him, and wept over him, and said, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!”
[15] Elisha said to him, “Take bow and arrows;” and he took bow and arrows for himself.
[16] He said to the king of Israel, “Put your hand on the bow;” and he put his hand on it. Elisha laid his hands on the king’s hands.
[17] He said, “Open the window eastward;” and he opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot!” and he shot. He said, “Yahweh’s arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Syria; for you will strike the Syrians in Aphek until you have consumed them.”
[18] He said, “Take the arrows;” and he took them. He said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground;” and he struck three times, and stopped.
[19] The man of God was angry with him, and said, “You should have struck five or six times. Then you would have struck Syria until you had consumed it, but now you will strike Syria just three times.”
[20] Elisha died, and they buried him. Now the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
[21] As they were burying a man, behold, they saw a band of raiders; and they threw the man into Elisha’s tomb. As soon as the man touched Elisha’s bones, he revived, and stood up on his feet.
[22] Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
[23] But Yahweh was gracious to them, and had compassion on them, and favored them because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them and he didn’t cast them from his presence as yet.
[24] Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his place.
[25] Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Joash struck him three times, and recovered the cities of Israel.

[1] εν ετει εικοστω και τριτω ετει τω ιωας υιω οχοζιου βασιλει ιουδα εβασιλευσεν ιωαχας υιος ιου εν σαμαρεια επτακαιδεκα ετη
[2] και εποιησεν το πονηρον εν οφθαλμοις κυριου και επορευθη οπισω αμαρτιων ιεροβοαμ υιου ναβατ ος εξημαρτεν τον ισραηλ ουκ απεστη απ αυτων
[3] και ωργισθη θυμω κυριος εν τω ισραηλ και εδωκεν αυτους εν χειρι αζαηλ βασιλεως συριας και εν χειρι υιου αδερ υιου αζαηλ πασας τας ημερας
[4] και εδεηθη ιωαχας του προσωπου κυριου και επηκουσεν αυτου κυριος οτι ειδεν την θλιψιν ισραηλ οτι εθλιψεν αυτους βασιλευς συριας
[5] και εδωκεν κυριος σωτηριαν τω ισραηλ και εξηλθεν υποκατωθεν χειρος συριας και εκαθισαν οι υιοι ισραηλ εν τοις σκηνωμασιν αυτων καθως εχθες και τριτης
[6] πλην ουκ απεστησαν απο αμαρτιων οικου ιεροβοαμ ος εξημαρτεν τον ισραηλ εν αυταις επορευθησαν και γε το αλσος εσταθη εν σαμαρεια
[7] οτι ουχ υπελειφθη τω ιωαχας λαος αλλ η πεντηκοντα ιππεις και δεκα αρματα και δεκα χιλιαδες πεζων οτι απωλεσεν αυτους βασιλευς συριας και εθεντο αυτους ως χουν εις καταπατησιν
[8] και τα λοιπα των λογων ιωαχας και παντα οσα εποιησεν και αι δυναστειαι αυτου ουχι ταυτα γεγραμμενα επι βιβλιω λογων των ημερων τοις βασιλευσιν ισραηλ
[9] και εκοιμηθη ιωαχας μετα των πατερων αυτου και εθαψαν αυτον μετα των πατερων αυτου εν σαμαρεια και εβασιλευσεν ιωας υιος αυτου αντ αυτου
[10] εν ετει τριακοστω και εβδομω ετει τω ιωας βασιλει ιουδα εβασιλευσεν ιωας υιος ιωαχας επι ισραηλ εν σαμαρεια εκκαιδεκα ετη
[11] και εποιησεν το πονηρον εν οφθαλμοις κυριου ουκ απεστη απο πασης αμαρτιας ιεροβοαμ υιου ναβατ ος εξημαρτεν τον ισραηλ εν αυταις επορευθη
[12] και τα λοιπα των λογων ιωας και παντα οσα εποιησεν και αι δυναστειαι αυτου ας εποιησεν μετα αμεσσιου βασιλεως ιουδα ουχι ταυτα γεγραμμενα επι βιβλιω λογων των ημερων τοις βασιλευσιν ισραηλ
[13] και εκοιμηθη ιωας μετα των πατερων αυτου και ιεροβοαμ εκαθισεν επι του θρονου αυτου εν σαμαρεια μετα των υιων ισραηλ
[14] και ελισαιε ηρρωστησεν την αρρωστιαν αυτου δι ην απεθανεν και κατεβη προς αυτον ιωας βασιλευς ισραηλ και εκλαυσεν επι προσωπου αυτου και ειπεν πατερ πατερ αρμα ισραηλ και ιππευς αυτου
[15] και ειπεν αυτω ελισαιε λαβε τοξον και βελη και ελαβεν προς αυτον τοξον και βελη
[16] και ειπεν τω βασιλει επιβιβασον την χειρα σου επι το τοξον και επεβιβασεν ιωας την χειρα αυτου επι το τοξον και επεθηκεν ελισαιε τας χειρας αυτου επι τας χειρας του βασιλεως
[17] και ειπεν ανοιξον την θυριδα κατ ανατολας και ηνοιξεν και ειπεν ελισαιε τοξευσον και ετοξευσεν και ειπεν βελος σωτηριας τω κυριω και βελος σωτηριας εν συρια και παταξεις την συριαν εν αφεκ εως συντελειας
[18] και ειπεν αυτω ελισαιε λαβε τοξα και ελαβεν και ειπεν τω βασιλει ισραηλ παταξον εις την γην και επαταξεν ο βασιλευς τρις και εστη
[19] και ελυπηθη επ αυτω ο ανθρωπος του θεου και ειπεν ει επαταξας πεντακις η εξακις τοτε αν επαταξας την συριαν εως συντελειας και νυν τρις παταξεις την συριαν
[20] και απεθανεν ελισαιε και εθαψαν αυτον και μονοζωνοι μωαβ ηλθον εν τη γη ελθοντος του ενιαυτου
[21] και εγενετο αυτων θαπτοντων τον ανδρα και ιδου ειδον τον μονοζωνον και ερριψαν τον ανδρα εν τω ταφω ελισαιε και επορευθη και ηψατο των οστεων ελισαιε και εζησεν και ανεστη επι τους ποδας αυτου
[22] και αζαηλ εξεθλιψεν τον ισραηλ πασας τας ημερας ιωαχας
[23] και ηλεησεν κυριος αυτους και οικτιρησεν αυτους και επεβλεψεν προς αυτους δια την διαθηκην αυτου την μετα αβρααμ και ισαακ και ιακωβ και ουκ ηθελησεν κυριος διαφθειραι αυτους και ουκ απερριψεν αυτους απο του προσωπου αυτου
[24] και απεθανεν αζαηλ βασιλευς συριας και εβασιλευσεν υιος αδερ υιος αυτου αντ αυτου
[25] και επεστρεψεν ιωας υιος ιωαχας και ελαβεν τας πολεις εκ χειρος υιου αδερ υιου αζαηλ ας ελαβεν εκ χειρος ιωαχας του πατρος αυτου εν τω πολεμω τρις επαταξεν αυτον ιωας και επεστρεψεν τας πολεις ισραηλ
