Strike the Ground

“Then he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said to the king of Israel, Strike on the ground. And he struck three times and stopped. And the man of God was angry with him and said, You should have struck five or six times; then you would have struck down Syria until you had destroyed it. But now you shall strike Syria down only three times.”‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭13‬:‭18‬-‭19‬ ‭AMPC‬‬https://bible.com/bible/8/2ki.13.18-19.AMPC
