9 Jehoahaz lay down with his ancestors. He was buried in Samaria. His son Joash succeeded him as king.
10 Joash, Jehoahaz’s son, became king of Israel in Samaria in the thirty-seventh year of Judah’s King Jehoash. He ruled for sixteen years.
11 He did what was evil in the Lord’s eyes. He didn’t deviate from all the sins that Jeroboam, Nebat’s son, had caused Israel to commit, but he walked in them!
12 The rest of Joash’s deeds, all that he accomplished, and his powerful acts—how he fought against Judah’s King Amaziah—aren’t they written in the official records of Israel’s kings?
13 Joash lay down with his ancestors, and Jeroboam followed him on the throne. Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
14 Now Elisha became sick with the illness that would kill him. So Israel’s King Joash went down to see him. Joash cried over Elisha, saying, "Oh, my father, my father! Israel’s chariots and its riders!"
15 Elisha told Joash, "Get a bow and some arrows." So he brought Elisha a bow and some arrows.
