<p class="bodytext">When the messengers returned to the king,<n id="1" /> he asked them, &#8220;Why have you returned?&#8221;

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;

The king<n id="1" /> asked them, &#8220;Describe the appearance<n id="2" /> of this man who came up to meet you and told you these things.&#8221;

But his attendant said, &#8220;How can I feed a hundred men with this?&#8221;<n id="1" /> He replied, &#8220;Set it before the people so they may eat, for this is what the <sc>Lordsc> says, &#8216;They will eat and have some left over.&#8217;&#8221;<n id="2" />

He was still talking to them when<n id="1" /> the messenger approached<n id="2" /> and said, &#8220;Look, the <sc>Lordsc> is responsible for this disaster!<n id="3" /> Why should I continue to wait for the <sc>Lordsc> to help?&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">Now four men with a skin disease<n id="1" /> were sitting at the entrance of the city gate. They said to one another, &#8220;Why are we just sitting here waiting to die?<n id="2" />

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;

<p class="bodytext">When Jehoram saw Jehu, he asked, &#8220;Is everything all right, Jehu?&#8221; He replied, &#8220;How can everything be all right as long as your mother Jezebel promotes idolatry and pagan practices?&#8221;<n id="1" />

<p class="bodytext">Hezekiah had said to Isaiah, &#8220;What is the confirming sign that the <sc>Lordsc> will heal me and that I will go up to the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s temple the day after tomorrow?&#8221;

Isaiah<n id="1" /> asked, &#8220;What have they seen in your palace?&#8221; Hezekiah replied, &#8220;They have seen everything in my palace. I showed them everything<n id="2" /> in my treasuries.&#8221;

<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;

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" />

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;

Hazael said, &#8220;How could your servant, who is as insignificant as a dog, accomplish this great military victory?&#8221;<n id="1" /> Elisha answered, &#8220;The <sc>Lordsc> has revealed to me that you will be the king of Syria.&#8221;<n id="2" />

So the horseman<n id="1" /> went to meet him and said, &#8220;This is what the king says, &#8216;Is everything all right?&#8217;&#8221;<n id="2" /> Jehu replied, &#8220;None of your business!<n id="3" /> Follow me.&#8221; The watchman reported, &#8220;The messenger reached them, but hasn&#8217;t started back.&#8221;

So he sent a second horseman out to them<n id="1" /> and he said, &#8220;This is what the king says, &#8216;Is everything all right?&#8217;&#8221;<n id="2" /> Jehu replied, &#8220;None of your business! Follow me.&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">The chief adviser said to them, &#8220;Tell Hezekiah: &#8216;This is what the great king, the king of Assyria, says: &#8220;What is your source of confidence?<n id="1" />

Isaiah the prophet visited King Hezekiah and asked him, &#8220;What did these men say? Where do they come from?&#8221; Hezekiah replied, &#8220;They come from the distant land of Babylon.&#8221;

He asked, &#8220;What is this grave marker I see?&#8221; The men from the city replied, &#8220;It&#8217;s the grave of the prophet<n id="1" /> who came from Judah and foretold these very things you have done to the altar of Bethel.&#8221;
