2 Kings 6:10 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 6:10

And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God
told him, and warned him of
Sent spies thither to see whether the Syrians were there or not, and whether it was truth the man of God told him; for he had no hearty respect for the prophet, though he had been so serviceable to him:

and saved himself there, not once, nor twice;
escaped the snares the king of Syria laid for him, not once, nor twice only, but many times.

2 Kings 6:10 In-Context

8 Aram's king was fighting against Israel. He took counsel with his officers, saying, "I'll camp at such-and-such a place."

9 The man of God sent word to Israel's king: "Beware of passing by this place because the Arameans are going down there."

10 Then Israel's king sent word to the place the man of God had mentioned to him. Time after time, Elisha warned the king, and the king stayed on the alert.

11 Aram's king was extremely upset about this. He called his officers and said to them, "Tell me! Who among us is siding with Israel's king?"

12 One of his officers said, "No one, Your Majesty! It's Elisha the Israelite prophet who tells Israel's king the words that you speak in the privacy of your bedroom."
