2 Kings 13:20

And[R.V. Now] the bands of the Moabites invaded the land If Elisha died in Samaria, and was buried in that neighbourhood, we must suppose Moab to have made great inroads upon Israel if the bands of plunderers could advance close to the royal city.

The general expression is -when the year was expired": but this is very much the same as -at the coming in of another year".
