¹⁷ He said, “Open the window eastward;” and he opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot!” and he shot. He said, “Yahweh’s arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Syria; for you will strike the Syrians in Aphek until you have consumed them.”

KJVAnd he said^H559^(H8799), Open^H6605^(H8798) the window^H2474 eastward^H6924. And he opened^H6605^(H8799) it. Then Elisha^H477 said^H559^(H8799), Shoot^H3384^(H8798). And he shot^H3384^(H8686). And he said^H559^(H8799), The arrow^H2671 of the LORD'S^H3068 deliverance^H8668, and the arrow^H2671 of deliverance^H8668 from Syria^H758: for thou shalt smite^H5221^(H8689) the Syrians^H758 in Aphek^H663, till thou have consumed^H3615^(H8763) them.

KJVAnd he said^H559^(H8799), Take^H3947^(H8798) the arrows^H2671. And he took^H3947^(H8799) them. And he said^H559^(H8799) unto the king^H4428 of Israel^H3478, Smite^H5221^(H8685) upon the ground^H776. And he smote^H5221^(H8686) thrice^H7969^H6471, and stayed^H5975^(H8799).

¹⁹ The man of God was angry with him, and said, “You should have struck five or six times. Then you would have struck Syria until you had consumed it, but now you will strike Syria just three times.”

KJVAnd the man^H376 of God^H430 was wroth^H7107^(H8799) with him, and said^H559^(H8799), Thou shouldest have smitten^H5221^(H8687) five^H2568 or six^H8337 times^H6471; then hadst thou smitten^H5221^(H8689) Syria^H758 till thou hadst consumed^H3615^(H8763) it: whereas now thou shalt smite^H5221^(H8686) Syria^H758 but thrice^H7969^H6471.
