2 Kings 2:17 in Context — 2 Kings 2
15 E vendo-lhe os filhos dos profetas que estavam em Jericó da outra parte, disseram: O espírito de Elias repousou sobre Eliseu. E vieram-lhe a receber, e inclinaram-se a ele até a terra.
16 E disseram-lhe: Eis que há com teus servos cinquenta homens fortes; vão agora e busquem o teu senhor; talvez o Espírito do SENHOR o levantou, e o lançou em algum monte ou em algum vale. E ele lhes disse: Não envieis.
17 Mas eles lhe importunaram, até que envergonhando-se, disse: Enviai. Então eles enviaram cinquenta homens, os quais o buscaram três dias, mas não o acharam.
18 E quando voltaram a ele, que se havia restado em Jericó, ele lhes disse: Não vos disse eu que não fôsseis?
19 E os homens da cidade disseram a Eliseu: Eis que o assento desta cidade é bom, como meu senhor vai; mas as águas são más, e a terra enferma.
