Day 200 and 34
when Elisha was in his last
illness, king Jaho Ash of Israel
visited him and wept over him.
My father, my father, I see the
chariots and chariot tears of Israel.
He cried.
Elisha told him, get a bow and
some arrows, and the king did.
As he was told, Elijah told
him, put your hand on the bow.
Elisha laid his own hands
on the king's hands.
Then he commanded open that
Eastern window and he opened it.
Then he said, shoot.
So he shot an arrow.
Elisha proclaimed, this
is the Lord's arrow.
An arrow of victory over Arum for you
will completely conquer the AAN at aec.
Then he said, now, pick up the other
arrows and strike them against the ground.
So the king picked them up and
struck the ground three times, but
the man of God was angry with him.
You should have struck the ground
five or six times he exclaimed.
Then you would've beaten an arum
until it was entirely destroyed.
Now you will be victorious
only three times.
Then Elijah died and was buried
groups of Moabite Raiders used
to invade the land each spring.
Once when some Israelites were burying
a man, they spied a band of these
raiders, so they hastily threw the
corpse into the tomb of Elisha and fled.
But as soon as the body touched
Elisha's bones, the dead man
revived and jumped to his feet.
King Hazael of Aram had oppressed
Israel during the entire reign of King
Jehoahaz, but the Lord was gracious
and merciful to the people of Israel.
And they were not totally destroyed.
He pitied them because of his covenant
with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
And to this day, he still has
not completely destroyed them or
banished them from his presence.
King Haze O of Aram died and his
son Ben Hayad, became the next king.
Then JEAs son of Jehoahaz recaptured
from Ben Hayad, son of Hazael,
the towns that had been taken from
Jehova's Father Jehoahaz Je Joash
defeated Ben Hayad on three occasions
and he recovered the Israelite Towns
Messiah Son of Ash began to rule
over Judah in the second year of
the reign of King Jaho as of Israel.
Amiah was 25 years old
when he became king, and he
reigned in Jerusalem 29 years.
His mother was Jehova din from Jerusalem.
Amiah did what was pleasing in the Lord's
sight, but not like his ancestor David.
Instead, he followed the
example of his father, Joe Ash.
Messiah did not destroy the pagan
shrines, and the people still offered
sacrifices and burned incense there.
When Messiah was well established
as king, he executed the officials
who had assassinated his father.
However, he did not kill the
children of the assassins, for he
obeyed the command of the Lord.
As written by Moses in the book of the
law, parents must not be put to death
for the sins of their children, nor
children for the sins of their parents.
Those deserving to die must be
put to death for their own crimes.
Amiah also killed 10,000
Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
He also conquered Sila and
changed its name to Jock Thiel,
as it is called to this day.
One day Amiah sent messengers with this
challenge to his Israel's king Jeh, the
son of Jehova has and grandson of G Hu.
Come and meet me in battle.
But King Jaho Ash of Israel
replied to King Messiah of Judah.
With this story out in the Lebanon
mountains, a thistle sent a
message to a mighty cedar tree.
Give your daughter in marriage to my son.
But just then, a wild animal
of Lebanon came by and stepped
on the thistle, crushing it.
You have indeed defeated Edam and
you are proud of it, but be content
with your victory and stay at home.
Why stir up trouble that will only bring
disaster on you and the people of Judah.
But Amiah refused to listen.
So King Jaho, as of Israel mobilized
his army against King Amiah of Judah.
The two armies drew up their battle
lines at Beth Shemesh in Judah.
Judah was routed by the army of Israel
and its army scattered and fled for home.
King Jaho Ash of Israel captured
Judah's King Amiah son of Joash and
grandson of Eiah at Beth Sheesh.
Then he marched to Jerusalem where
he demolished 600 feet of Jerusalem's
wall from the Afra M gate to the
corner gate, he carried off all
the gold and silver and all the
articles from the temple of the Lord.
He also seized the treasures from
the royal palace along with hostages.
And then returned to Samaria.
The rest of the events in Ash's Reign
and everything he did, including the
extent of his power and his war with King
Amiah of Judah, are recorded in the book
of the history of the Kings of Israel.
When JE Joash died, he was
buried in Samaria with the kings
of Israel and his son, jar.
Bo II became the next king.
King Amiah of Judah lived for 15 years
after the death of King Jaho of Israel.

Reign are recorded in the book of
the history of the Kings of Judah.
There was a conspiracy against am
Messiah's life in Jerusalem, and he fled
to Laish, but his enemies sent assassins
after him and they killed him there.
They brought his body back to Jerusalem
on a horse, and he was buried with
his ancestors in the city of David.
All the people of Judah had crowned
Messiah's 16 year old son, Isaiah as
king in place of his father Amiah.
After his father's death,
Isaiah rebuilt the town of e
Lath and restored it to Judah.
Jeroboam ii, the son of Jeha, began
to rule over Israel in the 15th year
of King Am Messiah's reign in Judah,
he reigned in Samaria 41 years.
He did what was evil in the Lord's sight.
He refused to turn from the
sins that Jeroboam son of
Nebat had led Israel to commit.
Jarbo II recovered the
territories of Israel between
Libo Hamoth and the Dead Sea.
Just as the Lord, the God of Israel had
promised through Jonah, son of Amittai,
the prophet from Ga Heifer, for the Lord,
saw the bitter suffering of everyone
in Israel and that there was no one
in Israel slave or free to help them.
And because the Lord had not said
he would blot out the name of
Israel completely, he used Jarbo
ii, the son of JE, to save them.
The rest of the events in the reign
of Jarbo II and everything he did,
including the extent of his power, his
wars, and how he recovered for Israel.
Both Damascus and Hamoth, which had
belonged to Judah are recorded in the book
of the history of the Kings of Israel.
When Jarbo II died, he was buried
in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
Then his son, Zechariah
became the next king.
