6:1-7) A band of Syrian marauders are sent to seize him, but are struck blind, and he misleads them
to Samaria, where they find themselves int he presence of the Israelite king and his troops. (2 Kings
6:8-23) During the famine in Samaria, (2 Kings 6:24-33) he prophesied incredible plenty, ch. ( 2
Kings 7:1-2) which was soon fulfilled. ch. (2 Kings 7:3-20) We next find the prophet at Damascus.
Benhadad the king is sick, and sends to Elisha by Hazael to know the result. Elisha prophesies the
king’s death, and announces to Hazael that he is to succeed to the throne. (2 Kings 8:7,15) Finally
this prophet of God, after having filled the position for sixty years, is found on his death-bed in his
own house. (2 Kings 13:14-19) The power of the prophet, however, does not terminate with his
death. Even in the tomb he restores the dead to life. ch. (2 Kings 13:21)
