Elisha Dies; Life and Mercy Continue
A dead man revives at Elisha’s tomb, and the LORD continues showing Israel mercy for the patriarchal covenant’s sake. Northern Israel remains trapped in the sins of Jeroboam, yet God still hears distress and remembers his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Elisha’s death does not end the power of the God he served; even the startling tomb miracle directs attention beyond the prophet to the LORD who gives life.
