In 2 Kings 13:14-17 we find that, Joash – the king of Israel, took a bow and some arrows as Elisha told him.
And the 17th verse:
Elisha said, “Open the east window,” and he did so. Elisha said, “Shoot!” and he did so. Elisha said, “This arrow symbolizes the victory the Lord will give you over Syria. You will annihilate Syria in Aphek!”
However, later, in verses 18 and 19 we find the second part of this episode:
Then Elisha said, “Take the arrows,” and he did so. He told the king of Israel, “Strike the ground!” He struck the ground three times and stopped.
The prophet got angry at him and said, “If you had struck the ground five or six times, you would have annihilated Syria! But now, you will defeat Syria only three times.”
What’s the meaning of this story? Where should the king know from that he must strike the ground five or six times?

Troy Day I could possibly have mentioned polygamy in a video or linked to one that mentioned the issue in the context of the Old Testament. I have been posting videos on YouTube for over 15 years.
You tried to do something similar on the topic of spousal abuse. I posted a video that mentioned that it was wrong to equate teaching that wives were to submit to husbands with spousal abuse. You kept insinuating something negative about wife beating.
I have never made a video that endorsed polygamy or spousal abuse. It is wrong for you to insinuate otherwise.
