Elijah also spoke to him, "Elisha, remain here on this side, please, because the LORD is sending me to the Jordan River."

And this is the easy part for the LORD he's also going to hand the Moabites over to you!

He also brought the letter to the king of Israel, which read as follows: ""and now as this letter finds its way to you, look! I've sent my servant Naaman to you so you may heal him of his leprosy."

He said, "May God do to me and more also! if the head of Shaphat's son Elisha remains on his shoulders today!"

Because they feared the LORD, they also appointed from among themselves priests for the high places who acted on their behalf in the temples on the high places.

These nations feared the LORD and also served their carved images. Their descendants did the same thing, as did their grandchildren. Just as their ancestors had done, they also do the same thing to this day.

He removed the high places, demolished the sacred pillars, and tore down the Asherah poles. He also demolished the bronze serpent that Moses had crafted, because the Israelis had been burning incense to it right up until that time. Hezekiah called it a piece of brass.

But Rab-shakeh spoke to them, "Has my master sent me to talk about this just to your master and to you, and not also to the men who are sitting on the wall, who will soon be eating their own feces and drinking their own urine along with you?"

He also built altars in the LORD's Temple, about which the LORD had said, "In Jerusalem I will place my Name."
