Read 2 Kings 3.13-20. In verse 13: What have I do with you? means "We have nothing in common", Elisha wants nothing to do with the king of Israel. Jehoram's father was Ahab and his mother Jezebel, worshippers of Baal and Asherah (1 Kings 18.19). In verse 15: Music was used to induce the prophets ecstatic experience in which he would give his oracle (compare 1 Sam 10.5, 9-13). In verse 19: The measures described in this verse would ruin a piece of land for agriculture. In verse 20: The morning offering or oblation was made at dawn. 1 Kings 18.29 refers to the second oblation at about 3 p.m. The practice of two oblations may have begun in the Exile or later. This is an indication that this story was written at a later date. Comments or Questions..
