Continuing in the 13th chapter of 2 Kings, verse 14, the prophet Elisha has fallen deathly ill.
When the Israeli king Joash discovered this he cried out. Elisha instructed Joash to shoot an arrow out the window, toward the east. He did so. Elisha said it was the Lords arrow of victory over Syria.
Elisha then told the king to shoot the other arrows into the ground. The king did so, but stopped after three. Elisha was furious! Elisha said he should have struck the ground five or six times, for that would have been how many times they would have had victory over Syria. But since he stopped after three, they would only see victory three times.
