Reading for September 13th

Read 2 Kings 6.11-23 In verse 12: The Aramean officer tells his king that Elisha knows even the most intimate words spoke by the king in his bedchamber. Though this is certainly an exaggeration, it is quite disconcerting to the king. In verses 13-14: The story stresses Elisha's importance since he is the reason for an invasion by the Arameans. In verse 17: This verse vividly illustrates the title "the Lord of host" ("yahweh sebaoth"), since the Lord controls both earthly and heavenly armies (see 2.11). Thus, in this story the king was subject to the prophet. Comments or Qustions..
