Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapters 3 and 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapters 9 and 10 Chapters 11 and 12 Chapters 13 to 17 Chapters 18 and 19 Chapter 20 Chapter 21 Chapters 22 and 23 Chapters 24 and 25 | #### The prophet as the blesser and saviour of his people In the following chapter we enter into the historical part of Elisha's ministry. Jehoram goes to war; and, although less wicked than his father, the prophet no longer regards him. Jehoshaphat is still something to him: but the prophet seeks to abstract himself from the influence of the whole scene. He then proclaims blessing, and directs the counsels of the united kings. He is a saviour of Israel. He provides (chap. 4) for the need of the poor of his people, and delivers them from their distress. He bestows the heart's desire upon faith, which recognises and receives the prophet; and restores life to the dead, thus binding up the broken heart. He feeds the sons of the prophets during the famine, and multiplies the scant measure of bread. Death having been mingled with the food, he remedies the evil so that they eat with impunity. |
