Kings 13:15-19 (KJV) 15 And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and
arrows. And he took unto him bow and arrows. 16 And he said to the
king of Israel, Put thine hand upon the bow. And he put his hand
upon it: and Elisha put his hands upon the king's hands. 17 And he
said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then Elisha said,
Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the LORD'S
deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria: for thou
shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou have consumed them. 18
And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto
the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and
stayed. 19 And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou
shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten
Syria till thou hadst consumed it: whereas now thou shalt smite
Syria but thrice.
