From an on going point of due, we realise that People of all societal positions should always pay close attention to the wisdom and advice received from men of God.
A war was taking place between the King of Aram and the King of Israel.The King of Aram met with his officials to plan their military mobilization and strategy.
The King of Aram designated a specific location for his military plans and strategy.
The King of Aram was unaware that his secret plans were being spiritually revealed to a man of God.Elisha, the man of God, received spiritual insight regarding the King of Aram’s secret strategies.2 Kings 6:8-10[8]When the king of Syria was warring against Israel, after counseling with his servants, he said, In such and such a place shall be my camp.9]Then the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, Beware that you pass not such a place, for the Syrians are coming down there.[10]Then the king of Israel sent to the place of which [Elisha] told and warned him; and thus he protected and saved himself there repeatedly.
Elisha warned the King of Israel about the specific plots and plans of the King of Aram.
The King of Aram discovered that his secret military plans had been leaked to the enemy.
The King of Aram accused his own officials of being traitors due to the leaked information.
