Elisha was sitting in his house with the elders gathered around him. The king had sent a messenger ahead, but before the man arrived, Elisha said to the elders, 'Do you see what this murderer's son has done? He's sent someone to cut off my head. When the messenger arrives, shut the door and hold it firm — can you hear it? His master's footsteps are right behind him.'
Now Elisha was sitting in his house with the elders seated before him. The king sent a messenger ahead of him, but before the man arrived, Elisha said to the elders, 'Do you see how this son of a murderer has sent to take off my head? When the messenger comes, shut the door and hold it fast against him. Is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?'
But Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him; and the king sent a man from before him: but ere the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away mine head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door: is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?
Now Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. The king sent a messenger ahead, but before he arrived, Elisha said to the elders, “Do you see how this murderer has sent someone to cut off my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door to keep him out. Is not the sound of his master’s footsteps behind him?”
