Subject: Why God killed boys for teasing Elisha |
Bible Note: Yes I think so too. Also look at 2 Kin 13:14 When Elisha became sick with the illness of which he was to die, Joash the king of Israel came down to him and wept over him and said, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!" . What do you make of this verse? A few people in my SS class (at the time)who believed in the health and wealth sort of thing were bewildered that Elisha got sick and die. Anyway his interaction with Joash in verses 13-19 regarding the arrows and striking the ground were an interesting part of the story. Do you think that was a prophecy of future events or was he testing Joash's faith? Looking on down in 2 Kin 13:25 Then Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again from the hand of Ben-hadad the son of Hazael the cities which he had taken in war from the hand of Jehoahaz his father. Three times Joash defeated him and recovered the cities of Israel. |
