Verse 31 is found in chapter 6 of 2 Kings. Ben-hadad besieges Samaria and the famine reaches extreme intensity. The king of Israel blames Elisha and threatens to kill him, while the prophet remains firm. The narrative shows how a military crisis becomes a spiritual and moral crisis. The king interprets the situation as a direct consequence of the prophet’s activity, but Elisha announces that the following day there will be abundance. The promise seems absurd from the perspective of a besieged city. The passage prepares the great demonstration of the next chapter: God’s word will confront a situation that appears humanly irreversible.
