And Elisha said unto the king of Israel, (h) What have I to do with thee? get thee to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto him, (i) Nay: for the LORD hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab.
(h) He knew that this wicked king would have but used his counsel to serve his turn, and therefore, he disdained to answer him.
(i) The wicked do not esteem the servants of God unless they are driven by every necessity and fear of the present danger.
