🕊️ 2 Kings 6

2 Kings 6 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “The sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “See now, the place where we live and meet with you is too small for us.” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “Elisha prayed, and said, “Yahweh, please open his eyes, that he may see.” Yahweh opened the young man’s eyes; and he saw: and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha.” 2 Kings 6 opens with these words: “The sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “See now, the place where we live and meet with you is too small for us.” The line to keep is 2 Kings 6:10: “The king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of; and he saved himself there, not once or twice.” Carry the word “king” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is 2 Kings 6:10: “The king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of; and he saved himself there, not once or twice.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in 2 Kings 6? Then try this: Read “The king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of; and he saved himself…” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
