2 KINGS 2:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and the ground barren.”
The men of Jericho approach Elisha, noting that the city's water is bad (ra'ah) and the land is unfruitful — they present a practical need, testing whether Elisha's prophetic powers extend to healing the land. The water crisis recalls wilderness wanderings; it becomes an opportunity for Elisha's first recorded miracle.
