Commentary for II Kings 6:13

וַיֹּ֗אמֶר לְכ֤וּ וּרְאוּ֙ אֵיכֹ֣ה ה֔וּא וְאֶשְׁלַ֖ח וְאֶקָּחֵ֑הוּ וַיֻּגַּד־ל֥וֹ לֵאמֹ֖ר הִנֵּ֥ה בְדֹתָֽן׃

And he said: ‘Go and see where he is, that I may send and fetch him.’ And it was told him, saying: ‘Behold, he is in Dothan.’

Rashi on II Kings

Where he is. Where he is.6See Shir Hashirim 1:7 for a similar expression.7According to Malbim, this was not a hostile act. The king sent his men to invite Elisha to his court in the hope of winning him over.
