Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

As the Lord: 2 Kings 5:16, 1 Kings 17:1, 1 Kings 18:15

I regard: 2 Chronicles 17:3-9, 2 Chronicles 19:3, 2 Chronicles 19:4, Psalms 15:4

I would not look: 1 Samuel 15:26-31, 1 Kings 14:5-18, 1 Kings 21:20, Jeremiah 1:18, Daniel 5:17-23, Matthew 22:16

Reciprocal: 2 Kings 8:4 - all the great Proverbs 28:4 - but Ezekiel 20:31 - and shall

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.
