2 KINGS 13:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof.”
When Elisha became ill with the illness of which he would die, King Joash of Israel came down to him, and wept over him, saying, 'My father, my father! The chariots of Israel and its horsemen!' — Joash's words at Elisha's deathbed echo Elisha's cry at Elijah's rapture (2 Kings 2:12). The phrase expresses the prophet's irreplaceable value as Israel's spiritual defense.
