Compare all
30 Now it happened, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he atore his clothes; and as he passed by on the wall, the people looked, and there underneath he had sackcloth on his body.  
31 Then he said, a“God do so to me and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat remains on him today!”  
32 But Elisha was sitting in his house, and athe elders were sitting with him. And the king sent a man ahead of him, but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, b“Do you see how this son of ca murderer has sent someone to take away my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door. Is not the sound of his master’s feet behind him?”  
33 And while he was still talking with them, there was the messenger, coming down to him; and then the king said, “Surely this calamity is from the Lord; awhy should I wait for the Lord any longer?”

2 Kings 6:32

This son of a murderer - Jehoram, the son of Ahab and Jezebel. But Ahab is called a murderer because of the murder of Naboth.

Shut the door - He was obliged to make use of this method for his personal safety, as the king was highly incensed.

The sound of his master ' s feet behind him ? - That is, King Jehoram is following his messenger, that he may see him take off my head.
