SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:13

Y durmió Joás con sus padres, y se sentó Jeroboam sobre su trono; y Joás fue sepultado en Samaria con los reyes de Israel.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 13. And Joash slept with his fathers , etc.] Or died: and Jeroboam sat upon his throne ; who was his son; it is not said that he began to sit on it, or to reign, nor to reign in his father’s stead; hence it is concluded, as by Kimchi and others, that his father set him on his throne in his lifetime; and the Jewish chronology expressly asserts that he reigned with him one year: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel ; (see 2 Kings 13:9), the history of his life and actions does not cease here, but, after an account of the sickness and death of Elisha, it is reassumed, which was necessary to interpose to lead on to it.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 10-19 - Jehoash, the king, came to Elisha, to receive his dying counsel an blessing. It may turn much to our spiritual advantage, to attend the sick-beds and death-beds of good men, that we may be encouraged in religion by the living comforts they have from it in a dying hour Elisha assured the king of his success; yet he must look up to God for direction and strength; must reckon his own hands not enough, but go on, in dependence upon Divine aid. The trembling hands of the dyin prophet, as they signified the power of God, gave this arrow more forc than the hands of the king in his full strength. By contemning the sign, the king lost the thing signified, to the grief of the dyin prophet. It is a trouble to good men, to see those to whom they wis well, forsake their own mercies, and to see them lose advantage against spiritual enemies.
