2 Kings 6:32

6:32 Now Elisha was sitting in his house with the community leaders. ⁶  The king ⁷  sent a messenger on ahead, but before he arrived, ⁸  Elisha ⁹  said to the leaders, ¹⁰  “Do you realize this assassin intends to cut off my head?” ¹¹  Look, when the messenger arrives, shut the door and lean against it. His master will certainly be right behind him.” ¹² 

[4:33]  ¹ tn Heb “and closed the door behind the two of them.”

[9:10]  ² sn Note how the young prophet greatly expands the message Elisha had given to him. In addition to lengthening the introductory formula (by adding “the God of Israel”) and the official declaration that accompanies the act of anointing (by adding “the Lord’s people”), he goes on to tell how Jehu will become king (by a revolt against Ahab’s dynasty), makes it clear that Jehu will be an instrument of divine vengeance, and predicts the utter annihilation of Ahab’s family and the violent death of Jezebel.
