Elisha dies
2 Kings Chapters 12 – 13
The team of king and priest—Joash and Jehoiada—was an effective one, and Joash was a good ruler as long as he had Jehoiada to advise him.
During this time he embarked on an effort to repair the temple. While this was ineffective when managed by the priests, it became effective when money management was moved to the royal secretary and high priest, who distributed money to workmen and for needed supplies.
Ultimately, though, the money had to be used as ransom to stave off attacks by King Hazael of Aram.
Before his death, Elisha prophesied victory over Aram, which finally came after Hazael’s death.
