20. So Elisha died, and they buried him. Now bands of Moabites used to invade the land in the spring of the year.
21. And as a man was being buried, behold, a marauding band was seen and the man was thrown into the grave of Elisha, and as soon as the man touched the bones of Elisha, he revived and stood on his feet.
22. Now Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
23. But the Lord was gracious to them and had compassion on them, and he turned toward them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, nor has he cast them from his presence until now.
24. When Hazael king of Syria died, Ben-hadad his son became king in his place.
25. Then Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again from Ben-hadad the son of Hazael the cities that he had taken from Jehoahaz his father in war. Three times Joash defeated him and recovered the cities of Israel.
