¹⁸ Then he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said to the king of Israel, Strike on the ground. And he struck three times and stopped.

¹⁹ And the man of God was angry with him and said, You should have struck five or six times; then you would have struck down Syria until you had destroyed it. But now you shall strike Syria down only three times.

²⁰ Elisha died, and they buried him. Bands of the Moabites invaded the land in the spring of the next year.
