2 Kings 6:31-33

New Century Version

³¹ He said, “May God punish me terribly if the head of Elisha son of Shaphat isn’t cut off from his body today!”

³² The king sent a messenger to Elisha, who was sitting in his house with the elders. But before the messenger arrived, Elisha said to them, “See, this murderer is sending men to cut off my head. When the messenger arrives, shut the door and hold it; don’t let him in. The sound of his master’s feet is behind him.”

³³ Elisha was still talking with the leaders when the messenger arrived. The king said, “This trouble has come from the Lord. Why should I wait for the Lord any longer?”
