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!”
Elisha said to him, “Take bow and arrows;”
and he took bow and arrows for himself.
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.
