Strike the ground

Elisha said to him, “Take a bow and arrows.”
So he took a bow and arrows.
Then he said to the king of Israel,
“Put your hand on the bow.”
And he put his hand on it,
then Elisha laid his hands on the king’s hands.

He said, “Open the window toward the east,”
and he opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot!”
And he shot. And he said, 

“The Lord’s arrow of victory,
even the arrow of victory over Aram;
for you will defeat the Arameans at Aphek
until you have destroyed them.”

Then he said, “Take the arrows,” and he took them.
And he said to the king of Israel,
“Strike the ground,” and he struck it three times
and stopped. So the man of God was angry with him
and said, “You should have struck five or six times,
then you would have struck Aram until
you would have destroyed it. But now
you shall strike Aram only three times.””
