Berean Study Bible Elijah Taken Up to HeavenElijah’s earthly ministry was drawing to its appointed close. Unlike most men, Elijah would not die but would be taken bodily into heaven, as Enoch had been. The whirlwind revealed the LORD’s sovereign power in removing His servant. Act 1:9-11 He had said this, they watched as He was taken up… Elijah and Elisha Elijah and Elisha traveled together as prophet and successor. Elisha had left his former life to serve Elijah and was being prepared to continue the prophetic ministry in Israel after Elijah’s departure. 1Ki 19:19-21 So Elijah departed and found Elisha son of Shaphat.… were on their way from Gilgal, Gilgal, associated with Israel’s entrance into the Promised Land and covenant renewal, marked the beginning of their journey. Elijah and Elisha would travel through significant locations in Israel’s history before reaching the Jordan, where Elijah’s ministry would end and Elisha’s would begin. Jos 4:19-20 On the tenth day of the first month the people went up… and Elijah said to Elisha, Elijah was nearing the end of his prophetic ministry, and Elisha had been appointed by God to succeed him. 1Ki 19:19-21 So Elijah departed and found Elisha son of Shaphat.… “Please stay here, Elijah gave Elisha the opportunity to remain behind as he continued the journey appointed for him. Gen 22:5 “Stay here with the donkey,” Abraham told his servants… for the LORD has sent me on to Bethel.” Bethel, meaning “House of God,” was a place marked by Israel’s history, associated with Jacob’s encounter with God and later with the divided kingdom’s false worship. Elijah’s journey also brought him among the company of prophets there. 1Ki 13:1 Suddenly, as Jeroboam was standing beside the altar… But Elisha replied, Elisha refused to be separated from his master as Elijah’s final departure approached. 1Sa 3:10 Then the LORD came and stood there, calling as before,… “As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, Elisha bound his response with a solemn oath before the living God. 1Sa 20:3 But David again vowed, “Your father knows very well… I will not leave you.” His determination showed loyalty to Elijah and readiness to remain with him until the Lord’s purpose was completed. Heb 13:5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content… So they went down to Bethel. Together they traveled from Gilgal to Bethel in obedience to the Lord’s direction. Gen 35:1-3 Then God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel.”… Then the sons of the prophets at Bethel came out to Elisha The sons of the prophets were disciples gathered in prophetic communities for instruction, worship, and service to the Lord. Though Bethel, meaning “House of God,” had become associated with the idolatry established by Jeroboam, God preserved a faithful witness there. Their presence shows that true servants of the Lord remained even in places marked by national apostasy. Elisha was recognized among them as Elijah’s appointed successor. 2Ki 6:1 Now the sons of the prophets said to Elisha,… and said, “Do you know that the LORD will take your master away from you today?” God had revealed Elijah’s approaching departure to these prophets as well as to Elisha. Elijah would not die in the ordinary manner but would be taken directly by the Lord, marking the close of his public ministry and the transition of prophetic leadership to Elisha. The event rested entirely in God’s purpose and timing. 1Ki 18:12 I do not know where the Spirit of the LORD… “Yes, I know,” he replied. Elisha already knew what would occur and did not need their reminder. His answer reveals both his shared knowledge of God’s revelation and the sorrowful weight of the coming separation from his master. 2Ki 6:12 But one of his servants replied, “No one, my lord the king.… “Do not speak of it.” Elisha sought silence because the moment was solemn and personal. Rather than discussing Elijah’s departure, he remained focused on accompanying him and receiving what God intended for the continuation of the ministry. Mrk 1:44 See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself… And Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me on to Jericho.” Elijah was nearing the close of his prophetic ministry and continued his final journey through places associated with Israel’s history. His request tested Elisha’s resolve and prepared him for the responsibility he would soon receive. Jericho, rebuilt after its ancient destruction, stood near the Jordan and marked another stage in the Lord’s orderly transfer of prophetic leadership. Jos 2:1 Then Joshua son of Nun secretly sent two spies… But Elisha replied, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” Elisha refused to leave Elijah, binding his determination with a solemn oath before the living God. He would remain with his master until the end, not merely out of personal devotion but because he recognized the significance of Elijah’s final hours and the calling that lay before him. Jos 1:5 No one shall stand against you all the days of your life.… So they went to Jericho. Together they traveled to Jericho, where the sons of the prophets would witness further evidence that Elijah’s ministry was ending and Elisha was being prepared to succeed him. Jos 6:2 And the LORD said to Joshua, “Behold, I have delivered… Then the sons of the prophets at Jericho came up to Elisha and said, The sons of the prophets were prophetic disciples gathered in communities where they were instructed in obedience to the Lord and prepared for prophetic service. A company of them was established at Jericho, showing that such communities continued in Israel despite the nation’s widespread idolatry. They recognized Elisha’s position as Elijah’s attendant and successor. 2Ki 6:1 Now the sons of the prophets said to Elisha,… “Do you know that the LORD will take your master away from you today?” The prophetic disciples had been shown that the Lord would remove Elijah that day. Elijah would not die in the ordinary course of life but would be taken directly by God in a unique and supernatural departure. Act 1:9 He had said this, they watched as He was taken up… “Yes, I know,” he replied. Elisha already knew what the Lord had determined. His answer reflects both his prophetic understanding and the grief of one about to lose the man who had guided and trained him. Job 1:21 Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will return.… “Do not speak of it.” Elisha did not wish to dwell publicly on Elijah’s departure. His attention remained fixed on staying with Elijah until the Lord completed His purpose. Lev 10:3 Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the LORD meant… And Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me on to the Jordan.” Elijah’s final journey continues toward the Jordan River, where Israel had entered the land under God’s command. The LORD is directing Elijah’s steps as his earthly ministry draws to its close. Elijah again asks Elisha to remain behind, giving him opportunity to show whether he will continue faithfully to the end. Gen 22:5 “Stay here with the donkey,” Abraham told his servants… But Elisha replied, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” Elisha refuses to leave his master. His solemn oath shows steadfast loyalty to Elijah and confidence in the living God who has called them both. Elisha remains at Elijah’s side because he understands that the LORD is bringing Elijah’s service to its appointed conclusion and preparing him for greater responsibility. 2Ki 4:30 And the mother of the boy said, “As surely as the LORD lives… So the two of them went on. Elijah and Elisha proceed together to the Jordan, where the LORD will soon take Elijah into heaven and confirm Elisha as his successor. Their final journey marks the passing of prophetic leadership in Israel according to God’s purpose. Gen 22:6 Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering… Then a company of fifty of the sons of the prophets The sons of the prophets were men associated with prophetic communities in Israel, receiving instruction and recognizing the Lord’s work through His appointed servants. Fifty men came from Jericho to witness the solemn transition taking place. 2Ki 4:38 When Elisha returned to Gilgal, there was a famine… went and stood at a distance, They remained apart out of respect and because Elijah and Elisha had gone on alone. Their position allowed them to observe what the Lord would do without intruding on the moment. Jos 3:4 But keep a distance of about two thousand cubits… facing Elijah and Elisha The gathered disciples understood that Elijah’s earthly ministry was ending and that Elisha had been chosen to continue the prophetic work. Their attention was fixed on both men as authority passed from the older prophet to his successor. 1Ki 19:19-21 So Elijah departed and found Elisha son of Shaphat.… as the two of them stood by the Jordan. The Jordan marked a fitting place for this transition, standing as a boundary associated with decisive acts of God in Israel’s history. There Elijah and Elisha stood together before the Lord separated them. Jos 3:8 Command the priests carrying the ark of the covenant:… And Elijah took his cloak, Elijah’s mantle identified him as the Lord’s prophet and would soon mark Elisha as his appointed successor. 1Ki 19:19 So Elijah departed and found Elisha son of Shaphat.… rolled it up, Elijah deliberately rolled up his cloak as he prepared for the act God was about to perform. Num 20:8 Take the staff and assemble the congregation.… and struck the waters, Elijah struck the Jordan with his cloak, and the waters parted in response to God’s power, as they had in Israel’s earlier deliverances. Exo 17:6 Behold, I will stand there before you by the rock at Horeb.… which parted to the right and to the left, The waters parted to the right and to the left, allowing Elijah and Elisha to cross the Jordan on dry ground. Exo 14:22 and the Israelites went through the sea.… so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground. Elijah and Elisha passed safely into the region east of the Jordan, where Elijah would soon be taken into heaven and Elisha would receive the prophetic mantle. Jos 3:17 The priests carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD… After they had crossed over, Elijah and Elisha had crossed the Jordan on dry ground, marking the final stage of their journey together. The crossing set Elisha apart as he prepared to succeed Elijah in prophetic ministry. Jos 3:17 The priests carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD… Elijah said to Elisha, Elijah addressed the servant who had faithfully remained with him despite repeated opportunities to leave. 1Ki 19:19-21 So Elijah departed and found Elisha son of Shaphat.… “Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken away from you?” Elijah knew that the Lord was about to remove him from Elisha’s presence and invited Elisha to state his final request. 1Ki 3:5-14 One night at Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream,… “Please, let me inherit a double portion of your spirit,” Elisha replied. Elisha asked to be recognized as Elijah’s principal spiritual heir, like a firstborn son receiving a double inheritance. He sought the prophetic empowerment needed to continue Elijah’s work among Israel, not merely greater personal power. Deu 21:17 Instead, he must acknowledge the firstborn, the son… “You have requested a difficult thing,” said Elijah. Elisha asked to inherit the spiritual authority and responsibility of Elijah’s ministry, as a firstborn son received a double portion of the family inheritance. Such power to serve as God’s prophet could not be granted by Elijah himself; it depended on the Lord’s will. 2Ki 5:13-14 Naaman’s servants, however, approached him and said,… “Nevertheless, if you see me as I am taken from you, it will be yours. Elijah gave Elisha a sign that would confirm God’s appointment. If Elisha remained with him and witnessed his departure, he would know that the Lord had granted his request and established him as Elijah’s successor. Act 1:9-11 He had said this, they watched as He was taken up… But if not, then it will not be so.” The outcome rested entirely with God. Elisha could not secure the prophetic office by desire or effort alone, but only by the Lord’s calling and provision. Jhn 20:29 Because you have seen Me, you have believed;… As they were walking along and talking together, Elijah continued his final journey with Elisha, who had faithfully remained at his side. Their companionship reflects the close bond between the elder prophet and the man chosen to continue his ministry. Luk 24:15 And as they talked and deliberated, Jesus Himself came up… suddenly a chariot of fire with horses of fire appeared God visibly intervened with a display of His heavenly power. The fiery chariot and horses revealed that Elijah was under divine protection and that his departure was directed by God. 2Ki 6:17 Then Elisha prayed, “O LORD, please open his eyes.”… and separated the two of them, Elisha could not accompany Elijah beyond this point. The separation marked the transfer of prophetic responsibility from Elijah to Elisha, who would now serve as God’s leading prophet in Israel. Gen 13:11 So Lot chose the whole plain of the Jordan… and Elijah went up into heaven in a whirlwind. Elijah was taken bodily into heaven without dying, setting him apart in Israel’s history. His extraordinary departure confirmed God’s approval of his ministry and established the significance of the prophetic work Elisha was to continue. Heb 11:5 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he did not see death:… As Elisha watched, As Elisha watched, he witnessed the Lord’s removal of Elijah and the decisive transition in Israel’s prophetic leadership. Elijah’s departure confirmed that God Himself had ended his ministry, while Elisha remained to continue the work entrusted to him. Act 1:9 He had said this, they watched as He was taken up… he cried out, “My father, my father, Elisha mourned Elijah as his spiritual father and teacher. His cry reveals both personal grief and recognition of the close bond formed through years of service. 2Ki 13:14 When Elisha had fallen sick with the illness… the chariots and horsemen of Israel!” Elijah had been a greater safeguard to Israel than its military forces because he stood before the Lord and called the nation back to covenant faithfulness. His loss was therefore a national as well as personal sorrow. Psa 20:7 Some trust in chariots and others in horses… And he saw Elijah no more. Elijah’s earthly ministry had ended, and Elisha was left to serve without his master’s visible presence. The moment marked the close of one prophet’s work and the beginning of another’s. Gen 5:24 Enoch walked with God, and then he was no more… So taking hold of his own clothes, Elisha responded with the customary outward sign of overwhelming grief. 2Sa 1:11 Then David took hold of his own clothes and tore them… he tore them in two. His mourning acknowledged the loss of Elijah, while the tearing of his garments also marked the end of his former role as Elijah’s attendant. Gen 37:34 Then Jacob tore his clothes, put sackcloth around his waist,… Elisha also picked up the cloak that had fallen from Elijah, Elijah’s mantle visibly identified him as the Lord’s prophet. By taking it up, Elisha received the outward sign of the calling Elijah had placed upon him years earlier. The garment itself held no power, but it testified that God had appointed Elisha to continue Elijah’s work. 1Ki 19:19-20 So Elijah departed and found Elisha son of Shaphat.… and he went back Elisha returned from the place where Elijah had been taken, prepared to begin the ministry entrusted to him. Elijah’s departure did not end the Lord’s work among His people. 1Ki 19:21 So Elisha turned back from him, took his pair of oxen,… and stood on the bank of the Jordan. The Jordan marked the boundary Elijah had crossed before his departure. Standing there, Elisha faced the first public test of the authority and power God had given him as Elijah’s successor. Jos 3:15-17 Now the Jordan overflows its banks throughout… Then he took the cloak of Elijah that had fallen from him Elijah’s cloak marked the prophetic office God had given him. Its falling to Elisha confirmed that Elijah’s ministry had passed to his appointed successor. 1Ki 19:19 So Elijah departed and found Elisha son of Shaphat.… and struck the waters. Elisha acted in faith, using the same cloak Elijah had used when the Jordan was crossed earlier. The act publicly tested whether the Lord would continue His work through him. Exo 14:21-22 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea,… “Where now is the LORD, the God of Elijah?” he asked. Elisha appealed to the God who had sustained and empowered Elijah, seeking confirmation of God’s presence as he assumed the prophetic calling. 1Ki 18:36-39 At the time of the evening sacrifice, Elijah… And when he had struck the waters, they parted to the right and to the left, The Lord answered immediately by dividing the Jordan. The miracle established Elisha before those who witnessed it and confirmed God’s approval of his ministry. Jos 3:15-17 Now the Jordan overflows its banks throughout… and Elisha crossed over. Crossing the Jordan marked Elisha’s transition from Elijah’s servant to Israel’s leading prophet. Jos 4:22-24 you are to tell them, ‘Israel crossed the Jordan…
Elisha Succeeds ElijahThe sons of the prophets were members of a prophetic community at Jericho. Having seen Elisha return across the Jordan after Elijah’s departure, they recognized that God had publicly confirmed him as Elijah’s successor. 2Ki 4:1 Now the wife of one of the sons of the prophets cried out… they said, “The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.” Elisha now bore the prophetic authority and divine enablement God had given Elijah. The Lord’s work through Elijah would continue through the man He had appointed. 1Ki 19:19-21 So Elijah departed and found Elisha son of Shaphat.… And they went to meet him and bowed down to the ground before him. Their bowing expressed respect and submission to Elisha’s recognized position as the leading prophet in Israel, not worship. 2Ki 4:37 She came in, fell at his feet, and bowed to the ground.… “Look now,” they said to Elisha, The sons of the prophets recognized Elisha as Elijah’s successor and addressed him as their leader after Elijah’s departure. 1Ki 20:31-32 Then the servants of Ben-hadad said to him, … “we your servants have fifty valiant men. They offered a capable group of men from their community, prepared to search the surrounding region. 2Ki 1:9-10 Then King Ahaziah sent to Elijah a captain with his company… Please let them go and search for your master. Although they knew Elijah had been taken by God, they wondered whether he had been carried elsewhere rather than removed permanently from the earth. 2Ki 6:13 So the king said, “Go and see where he is,”… Perhaps the Spirit of the LORD has taken him up They understood that the Spirit of the LORD could act with supernatural power and believed Elijah might have been moved bodily. 1Ki 18:12 I do not know where the Spirit of the LORD… and put him on one of the mountains or in one of the valleys.” The rugged hills and valleys near Jericho seemed to them the most likely places for such a search. 1Ki 20:28 Then the man of God approached the king of Israel… “Do not send them,” Elisha replied. Elisha knew Elijah had been taken by the LORD and that searching for him would be useless. Gen 5:24 Enoch walked with God, and then he was no more… But when they pressed him to the point of embarrassment, Elisha knew Elijah had been taken by the Lord and had no reason to expect the search to succeed. The sons of the prophets nevertheless continued to urge him, unable to accept fully what had occurred. Gen 19:3 But Lot insisted so strongly that they followed him.… he said, “Send them.” Elisha permitted the search, allowing their doubts to be answered by its failure rather than continuing the dispute. Luk 10:1 After this, the Lord appointed seventy-two others… And they sent fifty men, A substantial company was assembled to search the surrounding wilderness and ravines near the Jordan, where they imagined Elijah might have been carried. 2Ki 1:9 Then King Ahaziah sent to Elijah a captain with his company… who searched for three days The men made a careful and extended search, leaving no reasonable basis for claiming that Elijah had simply disappeared into the area. Luk 2:45-46 When they could not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem… but did not find Elijah. Their failure confirmed that Elijah had not been lost or abandoned but had been taken from earth by God. Heb 11:5 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he did not see death:… When they returned to Elisha, The sons of the prophets returned to Elisha in Jericho after an unsuccessful search for Elijah. Elisha had warned them that their search would be futile because the Lord had taken Elijah away. 2Ki 5:15 Then Naaman and all his attendants went back… who was staying in Jericho, Jericho stood near the Jordan River, where Elijah and Elisha had crossed on dry ground before Elijah’s departure. Elisha’s presence there marked the continuation of prophetic ministry in Israel after Elijah’s ascension. Jos 6:26 At that time Joshua invoked this solemn oath: … he said to them, Elisha addressed the group with the authority now entrusted to him as the Lord’s prophet. 2Ki 6:32 Now Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders… “Didn’t I tell you not to go?” Their failure confirmed Elisha’s word. Elijah had not been lost or hidden; he had been taken by God, and their search showed their reluctance to accept what the Lord had done. Deu 1:42-45 But the LORD said to me, “Tell them not to go up and fight,…
Elisha Heals the Waters of JerichoThe inhabitants of Jericho recognized Elisha as the prophet who had succeeded Elijah and brought their need to him. Jericho had been rebuilt near its ancient site and remained an important oasis in the Jordan Valley. Jos 6:26 At that time Joshua invoked this solemn oath: … “Please note, our lord, They addressed Elisha with respect, acknowledging his authority as God’s servant. 2Ki 4:16 And Elisha declared, “At this time next year… that the city’s location is good, as you can see. Jericho was well situated, with a favorable climate and productive surroundings. Its setting made the condition of its water especially troubling. Gen 13:10 And Lot looked out and saw the whole plain… But the water is bad The city’s spring or water supply was harmful, affecting both daily life and farming. Exo 15:23-25 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink the water… and the land is unfruitful.” The bad water caused crops to fail and may also have brought loss among livestock and families. Though Jericho had every natural advantage, it could not prosper until God intervened through Elisha. Deu 11:17 or the anger of the LORD will be kindled… “Bring me a new bowl,” he replied, Elisha called for an unused vessel, suitable for the act God was about to perform. The new bowl set apart the salt for this purpose and showed that the remedy would come through the Lord’s word rather than any ordinary treatment. Jer 19:1-2 This is what the LORD says: “Go and buy a clay jar… “and put some salt in it.” Salt was commonly used for seasoning and preservation, but it could not naturally heal a polluted spring or make barren land productive. Elisha used it as the visible means by which God would demonstrate His power to remove the judgment affecting Jericho’s water. Ezk 43:24 You must present them before the LORD;… So they brought it to him, The men of the city carried out Elisha’s instruction without argument. Their obedience prepared the way for the miracle that followed, as the prophet acted in the authority of the Lord. 2Ki 4:42 Now a man from Baal-shalishah came to the man of God… and Elisha went out to the spring, Elisha confronted the source of Jericho’s problem. Though the city had been rebuilt in a fertile region, its water had brought death and crop failure. Gen 16:7 Now the angel of the LORD found Hagar by a spring of water… cast the salt into it, The salt served as a visible sign of God’s cleansing work. It possessed no power in itself; the healing came by the LORD’s intervention through His prophet. Lev 2:13 And you shall season each of your grain offerings with salt.… and said, “This is what the LORD says: Elisha spoke as God’s appointed messenger, making clear that the result would not come from human effort or ritual. 1Ki 20:13 Meanwhile a prophet approached Ahab king of Israel… ‘I have healed this water. The LORD permanently removed the corruption from the spring, restoring a dependable source of life for Jericho and its surrounding land. Exo 15:25 And Moses cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him… No longer will it cause death or unfruitfulness.’” God reversed the harm that had marked the water, bringing safety and productivity where death and barrenness had prevailed. 2Ki 4:40 And they poured it out for the men to eat,… And the waters there have been healthy to this day, Elisha’s healing of Jericho’s spring ended the death and unfruitfulness associated with its water. The continuing health of the spring testified that God had permanently removed the curse from the source. Exo 15:25 And Moses cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him… according to the word spoken by Elisha. The miracle occurred exactly as Elisha declared because the prophet spoke under God’s authority. Elisha served as God’s appointed messenger, and the restored waters confirmed the truth of the word he delivered. 2Ki 5:14 So Naaman went down and dipped himself in the Jordan…
Elisha MockedElisha entered Bethel, meaning “House of God,” at the beginning of his public ministry. Though once connected with the worship of God, the city had become a center of idolatry and rebellion in the northern kingdom. 1Ki 13:1-3 Suddenly, as Jeroboam was standing beside the altar… and as he was walking up the road, Elisha continued openly toward the city, carrying out the work God had given him. 2Sa 15:30-31 But David continued up the Mount of Olives,… a group of boys came out of the city The group was large enough and deliberate enough to confront the prophet publicly, reflecting the contempt for God’s servants that had taken root in Bethel. Zec 8:4-5 The LORD of Hosts says: “Old men and old women…”… and jeered at him, Their mockery was not merely personal insult but open rejection of Elisha’s prophetic authority. 2Sa 16:5-8 As King David approached Bahurim, a man from the house… chanting, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!” They mocked Elijah’s recent departure and challenged Elisha to leave in the same way. Their repeated insult showed settled hostility toward the prophet and the God he represented. 1Ki 18:27-28 At noon Elijah began to taunt them, saying, “Shout louder,… Then he turned around, Elisha stopped and faced the hostile group rather than ignoring their contempt. Mrk 8:33 But Jesus, turning and looking at His disciples… looked at them, He recognized the seriousness of their public rejection of the LORD’s prophet and the authority God had given him. Mrk 3:5 Jesus looked around at them with anger and sorrow… and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Elisha did not act from personal anger but placed their rebellion before the LORD, whose name and authority they had despised. 2Ki 1:10-12 Elijah answered the captain, “If I am a man of God…”… Suddenly two female bears came out of the woods The bears’ arrival was a direct act of divine judgment in response to the curse. Pro 17:12 It is better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs… and mauled forty-two of the boys. The severe punishment showed that contempt for God’s appointed messenger, especially in a center of idolatry such as Bethel, was contempt for the LORD Himself. Lev 26:21-22 If you walk in hostility toward Me and refuse to obey Me… And Elisha went on to Mount Carmel, Mount Carmel was the site of Elijah’s victory over the prophets of Baal and the Lord’s public vindication of His name in Israel. Elisha’s visit reflects the continuity of the prophetic ministry entrusted to him after Elijah’s departure. 2Ki 4:25 So she set out and went to the man of God at Mount Carmel… and from there he returned to Samaria. Samaria, the capital of the northern kingdom, was a center of royal power and persistent idolatry. Elisha returned to serve among a people and government that often resisted the word of the Lord, maintaining a prophetic witness in Israel’s spiritual decline. 2Ki 5:3 She said to her mistress, “If only my master would go… This is a draft of the Berean Study Bible.
