Chapter 5

KJV - 2 Kings 5:8

And it was so, when Elisha the man of God had heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.

So when Elisha, a man of God, heard that the king of Israel tore his clothes, he sent a message to the king asking why he did that. He invited the king to come to him, so the king could discover that there is a prophet in Israel.
