📚 Contexto Histórico
During the time of the divided kingdom of Israel, Elisha was a prominent prophet who succeeded Elijah and performed many miracles, serving as a spiritual guide and defender for the nation. As Elisha lay on his deathbed, King Joash of Israel visited him in a moment of vulnerability, weeping and calling him "my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof," which highlighted Elisha's role as a protector much like Elijah had been. This event underscores the cultural respect for prophets in ancient Israel, who were seen as vital for national security and divine favor.
