to do to Elisha?
READ 2 Kings 2:3 and 5
What does the term “sons of
the prophets” imply?
READ 2 Kings 2:9-10
What is Elisha asking when he
pleads for a “double portion of thy spirit”?
Why would Elisha ask for this
power if he has already been ordained/anointed to the High Priesthood by Elijah?
Why does Elijah say “thou hast
asked a hard thing”?
READ D&C 84:40 and JST

Priesthood?

Where is the Lord God of
Elijah?
READ 2 Kings 2:14
Why does Elisha say, “where is
the Lord God of Elijah”?
Does Elisha’s receiving of
this High Priesthood preclude anyone else from also receiving it concurrently?
READ 2 Kings 2:23-24
What can we understand from
this event?
READ 2 Kings 3:11-14
Elisha was not known to
righteous King Jehoshaphat of Judah, so how could he tell that Elisha was a
true prophet of God?
The Woman of Shunem
A “great” woman of Shunem
asked Elisha to eat with her and her family whenever he was in the
district. She even built a room at her
estate for him to use. Elisha wanted to
do something to repay her for her kindness.
READ 2 Kings 4:14-20
Why would the Lord give the
woman what she most wants, only to take it away?
READ 2 Kings 4:22-24
What is her response to this
test?
READ 2 Kings 4:27-28

desire a son of my Lord” and “did not I say, ‘do not deceive me’”?
Why would the Lord not tell
Elisha what was happening to the woman?
READ 2 Kings 4:32-37
Why did Elisha heal the child
the way he did?
Naaman the Syrian
Naaman the Syrian General
contracted leprosy. He was told by his
wife’s servant, an Israelite, that he could be healed in Israel.
READ 2 Kings 5:9-14
What does Naaman’s reaction to
Elisha’s counsel teach us?
Why was Naaman more willing to
do some great thing than a simple thing like wash in the river?
READ Luke 4:27
What does the fact that Naaman
was actually healed when he washed in the Jordan imply?
Lifting the Veil to See
God’s Army
Later, the King of Syria set
two traps for the armies of Israel, both of which were revealed to Elisha
through the Spirit, who then foiled them.
Syria then decided to send an army to capture Elisha…
READ 2 Kings 6:14-17

for Elisha?
