2 Kings 6:30-32

New American Standard Bible 1995

³⁰ When the king heard the words of the woman, ^(A)he tore his clothes—now he was passing by on the wall—and the people looked, and behold, he had sackcloth ^[a]beneath on his ^[b]body. ³¹ Then he said, “May ^(B)God do so to me and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat ^[c]remains on him today.”

³² Now Elisha was sitting in his house, and ^(C)the elders were sitting with him. And the king sent a man from his presence; but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, “Do you ^(D)see how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door and ^[d]hold the door shut against him. Is not the sound of his master’s feet behind him?”
