17 But they persisted until he was frustrated, so he said, "Send them out!"

Then Elisha asked them, "Didn't I tell you not to go?" 19 The men who lived in the city addressed Elisha. "Look now," they said, "our city's location is good, as you have been observing, but the water springs here are bad and the land isn't sustaining crops."
