ગુજરાતી2 રાજાઓ ૧૩:૧૭
એલિશાએ કહ્યું, “પૂર્વ તરફની બારી ઉઘાડ.” તેથી તેણે તે બારી ઉઘાડી. પછી એલિશાએ કહ્યું, “તીર ચલાવ!” તેણે તીર છોડ્યું. એલિશાએ કહ્યું, “આ યહોવાહના વિજયનું તીર, અરામ પરના વિજયનું તીર હતું. કેમ કે તું અરામીઓને અફેકમાં મારીને તેમનો નાશ કરશે.”
हिन्दी2 राजाओं १३:१७
तब उसने कहा, “पूर्व की खिड़की खोल।” जब उसने उसे खोल दिया, तब एलीशा ने कहा, “तीर छोड़ दे;” उसने तीर छोड़ा। और एलीशा ने कहा, “यह तीर यहोवा की ओर से छुटकारे अर्थात् अराम से छुटकारे का चिन्ह है, इसलिए तू अपेक में अराम को यहाँ तक मार लेगा कि उनका अन्त कर डालेगा।”

In context

15Elisha said to him, “Take bow and arrows;” and he took bow and arrows for himself.

16He said to the king of Israel, “Put your hand on the bow;” and he put his hand on it. Elisha laid his hands on the king’s hands.

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

18He said, “Take the arrows;” and he took them. He said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground;” and he struck three times, and stopped.

19The 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.”
