2 KINGS 13:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it: whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice.”
Then the man of God was angry with him, and said, 'You should have struck five or six times; then you would have struck down Aram until you had made an end of it. But now you will strike down Aram only three times.' — Elisha's anger at Joash's hesitation reveals the conditional nature of divine blessing. Faith's measure determines the blessing's extent.
