He said, “Lift it out.” So he reached out his hand and grabbed it.p>

Now make a deal<n id="1" /> with my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, provided you can find enough riders for them.

This is what the <sc>Lordsc> says about him:<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">&#8220;The virgin daughter Zion<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">despises you, she makes fun of you;p> <p class="poetry">Daughter Jerusalemp> <p class="poetry">shakes her head after you.<n id="3" />p>

Elisha<n id="1" /> said to him, &#8220;Go in peace.&#8221;p> <p class="bodytext">When he had gone a short distance,<n id="2" />

Elisha said to her, &#8220;What can I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?&#8221; She answered, &#8220;Your servant has nothing in the house except a small jar of olive oil.&#8221;

Elisha said to Gehazi,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Tell her, &#8216;Look, you have treated us with such great respect.<n id="2" /> What can I do for you? Can I put in a good word for you with the king or the commander of the army?&#8217;&#8221; She replied, &#8220;I&#8217;m quite secure.&#8221;<n id="3" />

Elijah<n id="1" /> replied, &#8220;That&#8217;s a difficult request!<n id="2" /> If you see me taken from you, may it be so, but if you don&#8217;t, it will not happen.&#8221;p>

He said, &#8220;Go and ask all your neighbors for empty containers.<n id="1" /> Get as many as you can.<n id="2" />

She saddled the donkey and told her servant, &#8220;Lead on.<n id="1" /> Do not stop unless I say so.&#8221;<n id="2" />p>

Now, run to meet her and ask her, &#8216;Are you well? Are your husband and the boy well?&#8217;&#8221; She told Gehazi,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Everything&#8217;s fine.&#8221;

Elisha sent out a messenger who told him, &#8220;Go and wash seven times in the Jordan; your skin will be restored<n id="1" /> and you will be healed.&#8221;

Elisha said to him, &#8220;Go and tell him, &#8216;You will surely recover,&#8217;<n id="1" /> but the <sc>Lordsc> has revealed to me that he will surely die.&#8221;

He left Elisha and went to his master. Ben Hadad<n id="1" /> asked him, &#8220;What did Elisha tell you?&#8221; Hazael<n id="2" /> replied, &#8220;He told me you would surely recover.&#8221;

His assassination brought to fulfillment the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s word to Jehu,<n id="1" /> &#8220;Four generations of your descendants will rule over Israel.&#8221;<n id="2" /> That is exactly what happened.<n id="3" />p>

Certainly you will not refuse one of my master&#8217;s minor officials and trust in Egypt for chariots and horsemen.<n id="1" />

<n id="1" /><p class="bodytext">This will be your confirmation that I have spoken the truth:<n id="2" /> This year you will eat what grows wild,<n id="3" /> and next year<n id="4" /> what grows on its own from that. But in the third year you will plant seed and harvest crops; you will plant vines and consume their produce.<n id="5" />

<p class="bodytext">When they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, &#8220;What can I do for you,<n id="1" /> before I am taken away from you?&#8221; Elisha answered, &#8220;May I receive a double portion of the prophetic spirit that energizes you.&#8221;<n id="2" />

<p class="bodytext">Elisha said to the king of Israel, &#8220;Why are you here?<n id="1" /> Go to your father&#8217;s prophets or your mother&#8217;s prophets!&#8221; The king of Israel replied to him, &#8220;No, for the <sc>Lordsc> is the one who summoned these three kings so that he can hand them over to Moab.&#8221;

The king of Syria said, &#8220;Go! I will send a letter to the king of Israel.&#8221; So Naaman<n id="1" /> went, taking with him ten talents<n id="2" /> of silver, six thousand shekels of gold,<n id="3" /> and ten suits of clothes.

Then the king asked her, &#8220;What&#8217;s your problem?&#8221; She answered, &#8220;This woman said to me, &#8216;Hand over your son; we&#8217;ll eat him today and then eat my son tomorrow.&#8217;
