The question implies that Elisha had great influence with the king; an influence obtained, doubtless, by means of the miracles which God had wrought through him.

I dwell among mine own people I live quietly and peaceably, and have no broils or difficulties with my neighbours requiring the interference of the king, and I have no desire to change my lot. “Godliness with contentment is great gain.” 1 Timothy 6:6.
