2 Kings 13:15-17

Take bow and arrows This was to represent the wars he was to have with the Syrians. Elisha put his hands upon the king's hands To signify to him, that in all his expeditions against the Syrians, he must look up to God for direction and strength; must reckon his own hands insufficient for him, and must go on in dependance on the divine aid. Open the window eastward Toward Syria, which lay north-eastward from the land of Israel: the Syrians had also possessed themselves of the land of the Israelites beyond Jordan, which lay eastward from Canaan: this arrow is shot toward these parts, as a token of what God intended to do against the Syrians. The arrow of the Lord's deliverance It is God that commands deliverance, and when he will effect it, who can hinder? Thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek Where they were now encamped, or where they were to have a general rendezvous of their forces. Till thou have consumed them Those of them that are vexatious and oppressive to thee and thy kingdom.
