2 Kings 13:14

[jollyjosh]

"And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof."
Joash is calling Elisha the chariots and horsemen of Irsrael because he was important, right?

 

[Morghaine]

My Bible commentary says "The chariots and horsemen of Israel! An expression of recognition by Jehoash that Elisha was of greater significance for Israel's military success than Israel's military forces were."
