The prophet Elisha was unconcerned when trapped by an entire army that was seeking him because, unlike his servant, he could see with the eyes of faith a vast host of heavenly forces supporting him. ​ — 2 Kings 6: 15 - 17.
( १ राजे १७: ४ - २४; १८: ३६ - ४०) पण काही काळानंतर जेव्हा ईजबेल हिने एलियाला मारून टाकण्याची धमकी दिली, तेव्हा तो घाबरला आणि अतिशय निराश झाला.
