1 Samuel 2:1 MSG
Hannah prayed: I'm bursting with God-news! I'm walking on air. I'm laughing at my rivals. I'm dancing my salvation.
She was "walking on air" she was bursting with ecstatic joy. It's the kind of joy that can make anyone restless
D life of a chosen is always a call into d life of conflict. A call into d unknown, into a life of d mysterious

D king was so bored & in a twist of d discussion he was havin with "Assistant Elisha" brother Gehazi, he asked in V4

2 Kings 8:4 MSG
The king was talking with Gehazi, servant to the Holy Man, saying, "TELL ME SOME STORIES OF d GREAT THINGS ELISHA DID."
π
The king had said, tell me a story
That woman's story was not d only story Gehazi knew.
Records have it that Elisha performed 16 miracles.
Parted the waters of the Jordan River (2 King 2:14)
Purification of the water source for Jericho (2 King 2:18-22)
Protection of the prophet by two she-bears (2 King 2:23-25)
Water for the army of Israel and success over the Moabites (2 Kng 3:16-25)
He was d king of Assyria.
He was known as d "d great king"
He was so powerful nations feared him. He used d gods of d conquered territories as wood to flame the fire around him during winter.
He had other gods thrown into trash cans and burned with fire π₯ (V19)
Mortals were no match for him.
gods too were "running" from pillar-post seeking for help from other manmade gods π. None could withstand him...none could stop him either.
On a day like this, he turned his attention on Israel and Israel's God. He had just finished dealing with Judah, Israel's sister.
Now, a king with such a RESUME would easily be on top of the world, after all, he had some gods behind bars, others, he used as firewood.
