Contextual Overview

⁶ So King Joram went out from Samaria and gathered Israel's army. ⁷ He also sent messengers to Jehoshaphat king of Judah. "The king of Moab has turned against me," he said. "Will you go with me to fight Moab?" Jehoshaphat replied, "I will go with you. My soldiers and my horses are yours." ⁸ Jehoshaphat asked, "Which way should we attack?" Joram answered, "Through the Desert of Edom." ⁹ So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom. After they had marched seven days, there was no more water for the army or for their animals that were with them. ¹⁰ The king of Israel said, "This is terrible! The Lord has called us three kings together to hand us over to the Moabites!" ¹¹ But Jehoshaphat asked, "Is there a prophet of the Lord here? We can ask the Lord through him." An officer of the king of Israel answered, "Elisha son of Shaphat is here. He was Elijah's servant." ¹² Jehoshaphat said, "He speaks the Lord 's truth." So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to see Elisha. ¹³ Elisha said to the king of Israel, "I have nothing to do with you. Go to the prophets of your father and to the prophets of your mother!" The king of Israel said to Elisha, "No, the Lord has called us three kings together to hand us over to the Moabites." ¹⁴ Elisha said, "As surely as the Lord All-Powerful lives, whom I serve, I tell you the truth. I wouldn't even look at you or notice you if Jehoshaphat king of Judah were not here. I respect him. ¹⁵ Now bring me someone who plays the harp." While the harp was being played, the Lord gave Elisha power.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Elisha said, as the Lord of hosts liveth, before whom I stand,.... Whose minster and prophet he was, to whom he prayed, and whose service he was ready to perform:

surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah; revere him not only as a king, but as a pious prince, and a worshipper of the true God:

I would not look toward thee, nor see thee; give him no countenance at all, pay no regard to his request, not so much as to look at him in a civil way; but turn away his face from him with contempt and disdain, as unworthy to be conversed with by a prophet of the Lord.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 3:14. Were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat — He worshipped the true God; Jehoram was an idolater.
