2 Kings 6:31

31He said, “May God deal with me, be it ever so severely, if the head of Elisha son of Shaphat remains on his shoulders today!”

31Then he said, “May God do so to me and more so, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat 6:31 Lit standsremains on him today.”

31Then he said, “May God do so to me and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat remains on him today.”

31Then he said, “6:31 Jehoram, the king of Israel, may have been angry at Elisha because the prophet had persuaded him not to kill the enemy army when he had the chance (v 22). He may also have blamed Elisha for the famine (or for failing to ask God to end it), though there is no indication that Elisha had called for it or announced it.May God do so to me and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat remains on him today!”

31He announced, “May God punish me, and ever so severely, if the head of Elisha son of Shaphat remains on his shoulders through this day!”

31He said, “I’ll cut the head of Shaphat’s son Elisha off his shoulders today. If I don’t, may God punish me greatly!”
