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 The king of Aram was at war with Israel. He had a council meeting with his officers and said, "I will set up my camp in this place."

9 Elisha, the man of God, sent a message to the king of Israel, saying, "Be careful! Don't pass that place, because the Arameans are going down there!"

10 The king of Israel checked the place about which Elisha had warned him. Elisha warned him several times, so the king protected himself there.

11 The king of Aram was angry about this. He called his officers together and demanded, "Tell me who of us is working for the king of Israel."

12 One of the officers said, "None, my master and king. It's Elisha, the prophet from Israel. He can tell you what you speak in your bedroom."
