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 One time when the king of Aram was at war with Israel, after consulting with his officers, he said, "At such and such a place I want an ambush set."

9 The Holy Man sent a message to the king of Israel: "Watch out when you're passing this place, because Aram has set an ambush there."

10 So the king of Israel sent word concerning the place of which the Holy Man had warned him. This kind of thing happened all the time.

11 The king of Aram was furious over all this. He called his officers together and said, "Tell me, who is leaking information to the king of Israel? Who is the spy in our ranks?"

12 But one of his men said, "No, my master, dear king. It's not any of us. It's Elisha the prophet in Israel. He tells the king of Israel everything you say, even what you whisper in your bedroom."
