A preaching piece from the Highway Byway author cites Second Kings 18 9 26 to recount Elisha testing Joash and delivering lessons from prophetic authority in a late biblical scene.
The sermon extols walking with God as a source of hope amid decline and death. It recalls Elisha’s faith in God’s ultimate triumph despite national calamity and contrasts earthly despair with a life joined to the divine mission. It urges seeing God’s work beyond human plans and notes deathbeds sorrowful when estranged from God.
King Joash visits the ill aged prophet Elisha and recalls his father Jehoahaz in a stark contrast between the deathbeds. The king, once indifferent to Elisha, witnesses the prophet’s illness and reflects on Israel’s deliverances and his own peaceful reign.
In Elisha’s death chamber King Joash confronts mortality and moral strength. The dying prophet’s calm, commanding presence reveals true leadership beyond physical weakness. Joash’s bowing, arrows, and the call to strike ground become a ritual of deliverance and future conquest. The scene contrasts fear with steadiness and hints at God’s power beyond earthly kings.

Eulogizes Israel Reed slain by savages in the Battle of Buffalo Creek December 1818 aged 45. Lines mourn his untimely death, recalling family sorrow and enduring affection as memories bring tears.
