14 Élisée était atteint de la maladie dont il mourut; et Joas, roi d’Israël, descendit vers lui, pleura sur son visage, et dit: Mon père! Mon père! Char d’Israël et sa cavalerie!
15 Élisée lui dit: Prends un arc et des flèches. Et il prit un arc et des flèches.
16 Puis Élisée dit au roi d’Israël: Bande l’arc avec ta main. Et quand il l’eut bandé de sa main, Élisée mit ses mains sur les mains du roi,
17 et il dit: Ouvre la fenêtre à l’orient. Et il l’ouvrit. Élisée dit: Tire. Et il tira. Élisée dit: C’est une flèche de délivrance de la part de l’Éternel, une flèche de délivrance contre les Syriens; tu battras les Syriens à Aphek jusqu’à leur extermination.
18 Élisée dit encore: Prends les flèches. Et il les prit. Élisée dit au roi d’Israël: Frappe contre terre. Et il frappa trois fois, et s’arrêta.
