2 Kings 6:31-33

32 Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders(B) were sitting with him. The king sent a man ahead of him, but before the messenger got to him, Elisha said to the elders, “Do you see how this murderer(C) has sent someone to cut off my head?

33 While Elisha was still speaking with them, the messenger[a] came down to him. Then he said, “This disaster is from the Lord. Why should I wait for the Lord any longer?”(D)
