- But Jehoshaphat asked, "Is there no prophet of the LORD here, that we may inquire of the LORD through him?" An officer of the king of Israel answered, "Elisha son of Shaphat is here. He used to pour water on the hands of Elijah. "
- Jehoshaphat said, "The word of the LORD is with him." So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
- Elisha said to the king of Israel, "What do we have to do with each other? Go to the prophets of your father and the prophets of your mother." "No," the king of Israel answered, "because it was the LORD who called us three kings together to hand us over to Moab."
- Elisha said, "As surely as the LORD Almighty lives, whom I serve, if I did not have respect for the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not look at you or even notice you.
- But now bring me a harpist." While the harpist was playing, the hand of the LORD came upon Elisha

- 约沙法说,这里不是有耶和华的先知麽。我们可以托他求问耶和华。以色列王的一个臣子回答说,这里有沙法的儿子以利沙,就是从前服事以利亚的(原文作倒水在以利亚手上的)。
- 约沙法说,他必有耶和华的话。于是以色列王和约沙法,并以东王都下去见他。
- 以利沙对以色列王说,我与你何干。去问你父亲的先知和你母亲的先知吧。以色列王对他说,不要这样说,耶和华招聚我们这三王,乃要交在摩押人的手里。
- 以利沙说,我指着所事奉永生的万军耶和华起誓,我若不看犹大王约沙法的情面,必不理你,不顾你。
- 现在你们给我找一个弹琴的来。弹琴的时候,耶和华的灵(原文作手)就降在以利沙身上。
