2 Kings 6:32-33

Revised Standard Version

³² Eli′sha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. Now the king had dispatched a man from his presence; but before the messenger arrived Eli′sha said to the elders, “Do you see how this murderer has sent to take off my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold the door fast against him. Is not the sound of his master’s feet behind him?” ³³ And while he was still speaking with them, the king^[a] came down to him and said, “This trouble is from the Lord! Why should I wait for the Lord any longer?”
