2 Kings 2:17-19

21st Century King James Version

¹⁷ And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, “Send.” They sent therefore fifty men, and they sought three days but found him not.

¹⁸ And when they came again to him (for he tarried at Jericho), he said unto them, “Did I not say unto you, ‘Go not’?”

¹⁹ And the men of the city said unto Elisha, “Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth; but the water is nought, and the ground barren.”
