"And Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his stead. And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Three times did Joash smite him, and recovered the cities of Israel." — 2 Kings 13:24-25 (ASV)
He shot three arrows, and so it was that Joash beat Benhadad three times and recovered the cities of Israel. Oh, that he had beaten the king of Syria six times, and set Israel completely free from its enemy!
