열왕기하 13

1유다 왕 아하시야의 아들 요아스의 이십삼 년에 예후의 아들 여호아하스가 사마리아에서 이스라엘 왕이 되어 십칠 년을 치리하며 2여호와 보시기에 악을 행하여 이스라엘로 범죄케 한 느밧의 아들 여로보암의 죄를 좇고 떠나지 아니하였으므로 3여호와께서 이스라엘을 향하여 노를 발하사 늘 아람 왕 하사엘의 손과 그 아들 벤하닷의 손에 붙이셨더니 4아람 왕이 이스라엘을 학대하므로 여호아하스가 여호와께 간구하매 여호와께서 들으셨으니 이는 저희의 학대 받음을 보셨음이라 5여호와께서 이에 구원자를 이스라엘에게 주시매 이스라엘 자손이 아람 사람의 손에서 벗어나 전과 같이 자기 장막에 거하였으나 6저희가 이스라엘로 범죄케 한 여로보암 집의 죄에서 떠나지 아니하고 좇아 행하며 또 사마리아에 아세라 목상을 그저 두었더라 7아람 왕이 여호아하스의 백성을 진멸하여 타작마당의 티끌 같이 되게 하고 마병 오십과 병거 십 승과 보병 일만 외에는 여호아하스에게 남겨두지 아니하였더라 8여호아하스의 남은 사적과 모든 행한 것과 그 권력은 이스라엘 왕 역대지략에 기록되지 아니하였느냐 9여호아하스가 그 열조와 함께 자매 사마리아에 장사되고 그 아들 요아스가 대신하여 왕이 되니라 10유다 왕 요아스의 삼십칠 년에 여호아하스의 아들 요아스가 사마리아에서 이스라엘 왕이 되어 십육 년을 치리하며 11여호와 보시기에 악을 행하여 이스라엘로 범죄케 한 느밧의 아들 여로보암의 모든 죄에서 떠나지 아니하고 좇아 행하였더라 12요아스의 남은 사적과 무릇 행한 일과 유다 왕 아마샤와 싸운 권력은 이스라엘 왕 역대지략에 기록되지 아니하였느냐 13요아스가 그 열조와 함께 자매 이스라엘 왕들과 함께 사마리아에 장사되고 여로보암이 그 위에 앉으니라 14엘리사가 죽을 병이 들매 이스라엘 왕 요아스가 저에게로 내려가서 그 얼굴에 눈물을 흘리며 가로되 내 아버지여 내 아버지여 이스라엘의 병거와 마병이여 하매 15엘리사가 저에게 이르되 활과 살들을 취하소서 활과 살들을 취하매 16또 이스라엘 왕에게 이르되 왕의 손으로 활을 잡으소서 곧 손으로 잡으매 엘리사가 자기 손으로 왕의 손을 안찰하고 17가로되 동편 창을 여소서 곧 열매 엘리사가 가로되 쏘소서 곧 쏘매 엘리사가 가로되 이는 여호와의 구원의 살 곧 아람에 대한 구원의 살이니 왕이 아람 사람을 진멸하도록 아벡에서 치리이다 18또 가로되 살들을 취하소서 곧 취하매 엘리사가 또 이스라엘 왕에게 이르되 땅을 치소서 이에 세 번 치고 그친지라 19하나님의 사람이 노하여 가로되 왕이 오륙 번을 칠 것이니이다 그리하였더면 왕이 아람을 진멸하도록 쳤으리이다 그런즉 이제는 왕이 아람을 세 번만 치리이다 하니라 20엘리사가 죽으매 장사하였더니 해가 바뀌매 모압 적당이 지경을 범한지라 21마침 사람을 장사하는 자들이 그 적당을 보고 그 시체를 엘리사의 묘실에 들이던지매 시체가 엘리사의 뼈에 닿자 곧 회생하여 일어섰더라 22여호아하스 왕의 시대에 아람 왕 하사엘이 항상 이스라엘을 학대하였으나 23여호와께서 아브라함과 이삭과 야곱으로 더불어 세우신 언약을 인하여 이스라엘에게 은혜를 베풀어 긍휼히 여기시며 권고하사 멸하기를 즐겨 아니하시고 이때까지 자기 앞에서 쫓아내지 아니하셨더라 24아람 왕 하사엘이 죽고 그 아들 벤하닷이 대신하여 왕이 되매 25여호아하스의 아들 요아스가 하사엘의 아들 벤하닷의 손에서 두어 성읍을 회복하였으니 이 성읍들은 자기 부친 여호아하스가 전쟁 중에 빼앗겼던 것이라 요아스가 벤하닷을 세 번 쳐서 파하고 이스라엘 성읍들을 회복하였더라

1In 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. 2He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; he didn’t depart from it. 3Yahweh’s anger was kindled 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. 4Jehoahaz begged Yahweh, and Yahweh listened to him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, how that 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. 6Nevertheless they didn’t depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel to sin, but walked therein: and there remained the Asherah also in Samaria.) 7For 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. 8Now 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? 9Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son reigned in his place. 10In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah, Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz began to reign over Israel in Samaria for sixteen years. 11He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh; he didn’t depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; but he walked therein. 12Now 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? 13Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat on his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. 14Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness 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!” 15Elisha said to him, “Take bow and arrows”; and he took to him bow and arrows. 16He 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. 17He 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 shall strike the Syrians in Aphek, until you have consumed them.” 18He 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. 19The 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, whereas now you shall strike Syria just three times.” 20Elisha died, and they buried him. Now the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year. 21As 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 the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet. 22Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz. 23But Yahweh was gracious to them, and had compassion on them, and had respect to them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet. 24Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his place. 25Jehoash 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.

1In het drie en twintigste jaar van Joas, den zoon van Ahazia, den koning van Juda, werd Joahaz, de zoon van Jehu, koning over Israel, te Samaria, en regeerde zeventien jaren. 2En hij deed dat kwaad was in de ogen des HEEREN; want hij wandelde na de zonden van Jerobeam, den zoon van Nebat, die Israel zondigen deed; hij week daarvan niet af. 3Daarom ontstak des HEEREN toorn tegen Israel; en Hij gaf hen in de hand van Hazael, den koning van Syrie, en in de hand van Benhadad, den zoon van Hazael, al die dagen. 4Doch Joahaz bad des HEEREN aangezicht ernstelijk aan; en de HEERE verhoorde hem; want Hij zag de verdrukking van Israel, dat de koning van Syrie hen verdrukte. 5(Zo gaf de HEERE Israel een verlosser, dat zij van onder de hand der Syriers uitkwamen; en de kinderen Israels woonden in hun tenten, als te voren. 6Nochtans weken zij niet af van de zonden van het huis van Jerobeam, die Israel zondigen deed; maar hij wandelde daarin; en het bos bleef ook staan te Samaria.) 7Want hij had Joahaz geen volk laten overblijven dan vijftig ruiteren en tien wagenen, en tien duizend voetvolks; want de koning van Syrie had hen omgebracht, en had hen dorsende gemaakt als stof. 8Het overige nu der geschiedenissen van Joahaz, en al wat hij gedaan heeft, en al zijn macht, zijn die niet geschreven in het boek der kronieken der koningen van Israel? 9En Joahaz ontsliep met zijn vaderen, en zij begroeven hem te Samaria; en Joas, zijn zoon, regeerde in zijn plaats. 10In het zeven en dertigste jaar van Joas, den koning van Juda, werd Joas, de zoon van Joahaz, koning over Israel, te Samaria, en regeerde zestien jaren. 11En hij deed dat kwaad was in de ogen des HEEREN; hij week niet af van al de zonden van Jerobeam, dien zoon van Nebat, die Israel zondigen deed, maar hij wandelde daarin. 12Het overige nu der geschiedenissen van Joas, en al wat hij gedaan heeft, en zijn macht, waarmede hij gestreden heeft tegen Amazia, den koning van Juda, zijn die niet geschreven in het boek der kronieken der koningen van Israel? 13En Joas ontsliep met zijn vaderen, en Jerobeam zat op zijn troon. En Joas werd begraven te Samaria, bij de koningen van Israel. 14Elisa nu was krank geweest van zijn krankheid, van dewelke hij stierf; en Joas, de koning van Israel, was tot hem afgekomen, en had geweend over zijn aangezicht, en gezegd: Mijn vader, mijn vader, wagen Israels en zijn ruiteren! 15En Elisa zeide tot hem: Neem een boog en pijlen. En hij nam tot zich een boog en pijlen. 16En hij zeide tot den koning van Israel: Leg uw hand aan den boog, en hij leide zijn hand daaraan; en Elisa leide zijn handen op des konings handen. 17En hij zeide: Doe het venster open tegen het oosten. En hij deed het open. Toen zeide Elisa: Schiet. En hij schoot. En hij zeide: Het is een pijl der verlossing des HEEREN, en een pijl der verlossing tegen de Syriers; want gij zult de Syriers slaan in Afek, tot verdoens toe. 18Daarna zeide hij: Neem de pijlen. En hij nam ze. Toen zeide hij tot den koning van Israel: Sla tegen de aarde. En hij sloeg driemaal; daarna stond hij stil. 19Toen werd de man Gods zeer toornig op hem, en zeide: Gij zoudt vijfmaal of zesmaal geslagen hebben; dan zoudt gij de Syriers tot verdoens toe geslagen hebben; doch nu zult gij de Syriers driemaal slaan. 20Daarna stierf Elisa, en zij begroeven hem. De benden nu der Moabieten kwamen in het land met het ingaan des jaars. 21En het geschiedde, als zij een man begroeven, dat zij, ziet, een bende zagen; zo wierpen zij den man in het graf van Elisa; en toen de man daarin kwam, en het gebeente van Elisa aanroerde, werd hij levend, en rees op zijn voeten. 22Hazael nu, de koning van Syrie, verdrukte Israel, al de dagen van Joahaz. 23Doch de HEERE was hun genadig, en ontfermde Zich hunner, en wendde Zich tot hen, om Zijns verbonds wil met Abraham, Izak en Jakob; en Hij wilde hen niet verderven, en heeft hen niet verworpen van Zijn aangezicht, tot nu toe. 24En Hazael, de koning van Syrie, stierf, en zijn zoon Benhadad werd koning in zijn plaats. 25Joas nu, de zoon van Joahaz, nam de steden weder in, uit de hand van Benhadad, den zoon van Hazael, die hij uit de hand van Joahaz, zijn vader, met krijg genomen had; Joas sloeg hem driemaal, en bracht de steden aan Israel weder.
