³ But the angel of the Lord said to Elijah the Tishbite,^(A) ‘Go and meet the messengers of the king of Samaria^(B) and say to them, “Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to enquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?

¹¹ But Jehoshaphat said, ‘Isn’t there a prophet of the Lord here? Let’s enquire of the Lord through him.’^(A)

One of the servants of the king of Israel answered, ‘Elisha son of Shaphat,^(B) who used to pour water on Elijah’s hands, is here.’

⁸ When Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, he sent a message to the king: ‘Why have you torn your clothes? Have him come to me, and he will know there is a prophet in Israel.’^(A)
