The Politician
Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.- 2Ki_6:12.
Elisha's life and ministry were very closely linked with the political and military history of his country. However much he disliked the idolatrous practices of her kings, he had still hope for his country, and was ready to help her. He intervened, therefore, not once or twice only, to save the king and his soldiers.
