2 Kings 6:32-33

Living Bible

³² Elisha was sitting in his house at a meeting with the elders of Israel when the king sent a messenger to summon him. But before the messenger arrived Elisha said to the elders, “This murderer has sent a man to kill me. When he arrives, shut the door and keep him out, for his master will soon follow him.”

³³ While Elisha was still saying this, the messenger arrived followed by the king.^[a]

“The Lord has caused this mess,” the king stormed. “Why should I expect any help from him?”
