2 Kings 6:10

And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him, and warned him of ,.... Sent spies thither to see whether the Syrians were there or not, and whether it was truth the man of God told him; for he had no hearty respect for the prophet, though he had been so serviceable to him:

and saved himself there, not once, nor twice ; escaped the snares the king of Syria laid for him, not once, nor twice only, but many times.
