As he was dying, the prophet Elisha pronounced a curse on King Joash of Israel. This occurred when Joash visited Elisha, lamenting the prophet's impending death and expressing concern over Israel's future. Elisha instructed Joash to strike the ground with arrows, but Joash only struck three times, leading Elisha to declare that Joash would only defeat the Arameans three times, rather than completely. This curse symbolized the limited victories Joash would achieve due to his lack of faith and commitment.
