Hey, what's up everybody? This is Norm MacDonald and this is your Weekend Update on the good book.

In 2 Kings 13, we've got a real doozy. So get ready for a wild ride.

So Joash, the king of Israel, is sick and on his deathbed. He decides to summon the prophet Elisha, who he thinks can save him. But Elisha says no, Joash needs to give him a bow and arrows and then shoot them out the window. Somehow that's gonna do the trick. So that's what Joash does and he gets better.

Then Elisha dies and his body is buried in the same tomb as Joash's father.

But here's the real kicker: Joash decides to go to war against the Syrians to get back some cities they'd taken from Israel. So he sends a bunch of commanders out to fight and they're getting their butts kicked. But then Joash has an idea: he tells them to make a small hole in the ground and fill it with water. And then he tells them to dip their arrows in the water and shoot them at the Syrians. And it works! The Syrians flee and Israel gets their cities back.

So there you have it, folks. 2 Kings 13: a wild ride from start to finish.
