Discovery Box| (1.00) | 2Ki 5:7 |
| When the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes and said, “Am I God? Can I kill or restore life? Why does he ask me to cure a man of his skin disease? 1 Certainly you must see that he is looking for an excuse to fight me!” 2 |
| (1.00) | 2Ki 5:8 |
| When Elisha the prophet 1 heard that the king had torn his clothes, he sent this message to the king, “Why did you tear your clothes? Send him 2 to me so he may know there is a prophet in Israel.” |
| (1.00) | 2Ki 5:13 |
| His servants approached and said to him, “O master, 1 if the prophet had told you to do some difficult task, 2 you would have been willing to do it. 3 It seems you should be happy that he simply said, “Wash and you will be healed.” 4 |
| (1.00) | 2Ki 5:14 |
| So he went down and dipped in the Jordan seven times, as the prophet had instructed. 1 His skin became as smooth as a young child’s 2 and he was healed. |
| (1.00) | 2Ki 5:15 |
| He and his entire entourage returned to the prophet. Naaman 1 came and stood before him. He said, “For sure 2 I know that there is no God in all the earth except in Israel! Now, please accept a gift from your servant.” |
| (1.00) | 2Ki 5:17 |
| Naaman said, “If not, then please give your servant a load of dirt, enough for a pair of mules to carry, 1 for your servant will never again offer a burnt offering or sacrifice to a god other than the Lord. 2 |
| (1.00) | 2Ki 5:18 |
| May the Lord forgive your servant for this one thing: When my master enters the temple of Rimmon to worship, and he leans on my arm and I bow down in the temple of Rimmon, may the Lord forgive your servant for this.” 1 |
| (1.00) | 2Ki 6:2 |
| Let’s go to the Jordan. Each of us will get a log from there and we will build a meeting place for ourselves there.” He said, “Go.” |
| (1.00) | 2Ki 6:4 |
| So he went with them. When they arrived at the Jordan, they started cutting down trees. |
| (1.00) | 2Ki 6:9 |
| But the prophet sent this message to the king of Israel, “Make sure you don’t pass through this place because Syria is invading there.” |
| (1.00) | 2Ki 6:10 |
| So the king of Israel sent a message to the place the prophet had pointed out, warning it 1 to be on its guard. This happened on several occasions. 2 |
| (1.00) | 2Ki 6:12 |
| One of his advisers said, “No, my master, O king. The prophet Elisha who lives in Israel keeps telling the king of Israel the things you say in your bedroom.” |
| (1.00) | 2Ki 6:16 |
| He replied, “Don’t be afraid, for our side outnumbers them.” 1 |
| (1.00) | 2Ki 6:18 |
| As they approached him, 1 Elisha prayed to the Lord, “Strike these people 2 with blindness.” 3 The Lord 4 struck them with blindness as Elisha requested. 5 |
| (1.00) | 2Ki 6:30 |
| When the king heard what the woman said, he tore his clothes. As he was passing by on the wall, the people could see he was wearing sackcloth under his clothes. 1 |
| (1.00) | 2Ki 6:31 |
| Then he said, “May God judge me severely 1 if Elisha son of Shaphat still has his head by the end of the day!” 2 |
| (1.00) | 2Ki 7:1 |
| Elisha replied, “Hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Lord says, ‘About this time tomorrow a seah 1 of finely milled flour will sell for a shekel and two seahs of barley for a shekel at the gate of Samaria.’” |
| (1.00) | 2Ki 7:11 |
| The gatekeepers relayed the news to the royal palace. 1 |
| (1.00) | 2Ki 7:13 |
| One of his advisers replied, “Pick some men and have them take five of the horses that are left in the city. (Even if they are killed, their fate will be no different than that of all the Israelite people – we’re all going to die!) 1 Let’s send them out so we can know for sure what’s going on.” 2 |
| (1.00) | 2Ki 7:16 |
| Then the people went out and looted the Syrian camp. A seah 1 of finely milled flour sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, just as the Lord had said they would. 2 |
