## 2 Kings 13:20-21 in Context (Verses 17–24 KJV)
 
 [17 ](/kjv/2-kings/13/17) And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened *it*. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the LORD’s deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria: for thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou have consumed *them*.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/2-kings/13/18) And he said, Take the arrows. And he took *them*. And he said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/2-kings/13/19) And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed *it:* whereas now thou shalt smite Syria *but* thrice.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/2-kings/13/20) ¶ And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/2-kings/13/21) And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band *of men;* and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.*
 
 [22 ](/kjv/2-kings/13/22) ¶ But Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/2-kings/13/23) And the LORD was gracious unto them, and had compassion on them, and had respect unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet.*
 
 [24 ](/kjv/2-kings/13/24) So Hazael king of Syria died; and Ben-hadad his son reigned in his stead.
