2 KINGS 2:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho,) he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not?”
After three days of searching, the fifty men return to Elisha, who says: "Did I not say to you, 'Do not go'?" — Elisha's gentle rebuke affirms his prophetic authority and the finality of Elijah's departure. The search, while futile, serves a purpose: the prophetic community cannot deny what they do not find.
