But the king of Israel replied, “No, because it is the Lord who has summoned these three kings to hand them over to Moab.” ¹⁴ Elisha responded, “As the Lord of Hosts lives, I stand before Him. If I did not have respect for King Jehoshaphat of Judah, I would not look at you; I wouldn’t take notice of you. ¹⁵ Now, bring me a musician.”

While the musician played, the Lord’s hand came on Elisha.
