He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the
word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he
lied unto him.

word of the LORD: therefore the LORD hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath
torn him, and slain him, according to the
word of the LORD, which he spake unto him.
When the prophet who had brought him back from his journey heard this, he said, “It is the man of God who disobeyed the command of the LORD. Therefore the LORD has delivered him to the lion, and it has
mauled him and killed him, according to the
word that the LORD had spoken to him.”
For the saying which he
cried by the
word of the LORD against the altar in
Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.

cried out by the
word of the LORD against the altar in

Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to
enquire of
Baal-
zebub the god of
Ekron, is it not because there is no God in Israel to
enquire of his
word? therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.

stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of
Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.
So
Ahaziah died according to the
word of the LORD that
Elijah had spoken. And since he had no son, Jehoram succeeded him in the second year of the reign of Jehoram son of
Jehoshaphat over Judah.
So the waters were
healed unto this day, according to the saying of
Elisha which he spake.
And the waters there have been healthy to this day, according to the
word spoken by
Elisha.
And
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.
So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the LORD.
So he set it before them, and they
ate and had some left over, according to the
word of the LORD.
Then went he down, and
dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
So
Naaman went down and
dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, according to the
word of the man of God, and his flesh was restored and became like that of a little child, and he was clean.
And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying,
Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down.
Then the man of God sent word to the king of Israel: “Be careful passing by this place, for the Arameans are going down there.”
And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and
warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice.
So the king of Israel sent
word to the place the man of God had pointed out. Time and again
Elisha warned the king, so that he was on his guard in such places.
And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but
Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the
words that thou speakest in thy
bedchamber.
But one of his servants replied, “No one, my lord the king. For
Elisha, the prophet in Israel, tells the king of Israel the very
words you speak in your
bedroom.”
