← 2 Kings 6:31	2 Kings 6:32 (KJV)	2 Kings 6:33 →
Then he said, God do so and more also to me, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.	But Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him; and [the king] sent a man from before him: but ere the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away mine head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door: [is] not the sound of his master's feet behind him?	And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messenger came down unto him: and he said, Behold, this evil [is] of the LORD; what should I wait for the LORD any longer?
