GOD in the Old Testament - 2 Kings - Part 9

2 Kings 1:13  (continued)

    So the king sent a third captain with his fifty men. This third captain went up and fell on his knees before Elijah. "Man of God," he begged, "please have respect for my life and the lives of these fifty men, your servants! See, fire has fallen from heaven and consumed the first two captains and all their men. But now have respect for my life!"

    The angel of the LORD said to Elijah, "Go down with him; do not be afraid of him." So Elijah got up and went down with him to the king.

 

2 Kings 1:16  

    He told the king, "This is what the LORD says: Is it because there is no God in Israel for you to consult that you have sent messengers to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Because you have done this, you will never leave the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!"

(see all 2 Kings 1)

 

2 Kings 2:13-14  

    Elisha then picked up Elijah's cloak that had fallen from him and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan. He took the cloak that had fallen from Elijah and struck the water with it. "Where now is the LORD, the God of Elijah?' he asked. When he struck the water, it divided to the right and to the left, and he crossed over.

(see all 2 Kings 2 - 3)

 

2 Kings 4:5-7  

    She left him and shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring. When all the jars were full, she said to her son, "Bring me another one."

    But he replied, "There is not a jar left." Then the oil stopped flowing.

    She went and told the man of God, and he said, "Go, sell the oil and pay your debts. You and your sons can live on what is left."

 

2 Kings 4:9-10  

She said to her husband, "I know that this man who often comes our way is a holy man of God. Let's make a small room on the roof and put in it a bed and a table, a chair and a lamp for him. Then he can stay there whenever he comes to us."

(2 Kings 4 continues tomorrow)
