2 Kings 3:13
Jehoram' s humility in seeking II Kings 3:12 instead of summoning Elisha, does not save him from rebuke. His reformation II Kings 3:2 had been but a half reformation - a compromise with idolatry.
Nay: for the Lord hath called ... - The force of this reply seems to be - "Nay, reproach me not, since I am in a sore strait - and not only I, but these two other kings also. The Lord - Yahweh - is about to deliver us into the hand of Moab. If thou canst not, or wilt not help, at least do not reproach."
