Elisha had counseled the king to trust in God to bring him victory. Apparently, the King was tired of believing in what appeared to be a “false prophetic word” based on his present circumstances. As a result, Elisha, who had greatly benefited the king before was persona non grata. He was looking for Elisha to take his head himself because of the problems he faced in taking Elisha at his word.
In this time of peril, Elisha seemed to be at peace though the world around him was in turmoil. He didn’t allow the circumstances to change who he was, or the will of God for the situation. He stood fast on the Word of God even in the midst of the turmoil and as a result, brought himself, and even more importantly, the city into a great victory over the true enemy which was the enemy of our soul.
