Joash the king of Israel weeps over the sick Elisha, and at Elisha’s word shoots the arrow and strikes the ground three times

이스라엘 왕 요아스가 죽을 병이 든 엘리사에게 내려가 눈물을 흘리고 엘리사의 말대로 살을 쏘며 땅을 세번 침

2 Kings 13:14–19: Elisha becomes sick with the illness of which he died; and Joash the king of Israel comes down to him, and weeps over him, and says, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” Elisha says to him, “Take bow and arrows;” and he takes bow and arrows for himself. He says to the king of Israel, “Put your hand on the bow;” and he puts his hand on it. Elisha lays his hands on the king’s hands. He says, “Open the window eastward;” and he opens it. Then Elisha says, “Shoot!” and he shoots. He says, “The LORD’s arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Syria; for you will strike the Syrians in Aphek until you have consumed them.” He says, “Take the arrows;” and he takes them. He says to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground;” and he strikes three times, and stops. The man of God is angry with him, and says, “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.” The Korean Revised Version names Elisha at the second and third sayings of 13:17 (엘리사가 가로되 쏘소서; 엘리사가 가로되 이는 여호와의 구원의 살) and at the second saying of 13:18 (엘리사가 또 이스라엘 왕에게 이르되), where WEB names him at the second saying of 13:17 only; at 13:14 it reads 그 얼굴에 눈물을 흘리며, shed tears on his face, where WEB reads “wept over him”.
