What is the story of elijah and elisha Tunaweza kujifunza nini kutokana na maisha ya elisha They both served in the northern kingdom of israel
Elisha Cuthbert | Scrolller
Answer there are a few key issues we must understand in regards to this account of the youths cursing elisha
The text reads, “from there elisha went up to bethel
As he was walking along the road, some youths came out of the town and jeered at. Naaman returned to elisha and said, “behold, i know that there is no god in all the earth but in israel So accept now a present from your servant” (verse 15) Elisha refused the gift and sent the syrian commander away in peace
However, elisha’s servant, gehazi, followed naaman and deceitfully asked for a gift in elisha’s name. When he commanded the man to retrieve the ax head from the water, elisha emphasized the personal nature of the miracle Though minor to most, the loss of an ax head was significant to the man who had borrowed it. Gehazi is mentioned in the bible a few times, in the book of 2 kings, as the servant of elisha the prophet
The shunammite woman’s heartfelt hospitality to elisha and simple, sincere faith led to an amazing series of events
And god abundantly blessed the woman’s life during a difficult period in israel Still today, god often uses his people’s humble acts of service to bless both the giver and the receiver.
