וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהוֹשָׁפָ֗ט הַאֵ֨ין פֹּ֤ה נָבִיא֙ לַֽיהוָ֔ה וְנִדְרְשָׁ֥ה אֶת־יְהוָ֖ה מֵאוֹת֑וֹ וַ֠יַּעַן אֶחָ֞ד מֵעַבְדֵ֤י מֶֽלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ וַיֹּ֔אמֶר פֹּ֚ה אֱלִישָׁ֣ע בֶּן־שָׁפָ֔ט אֲשֶׁר־יָ֥צַק מַ֖יִם עַל־יְדֵ֥י אֵלִיָּֽהוּ׃
At sinabi ni Josafat: “Wala ba rito na propeta ng Walang-Hanggan, upang makapagsiyasat tayo sa Walang-Hanggan sa pamamagitan niya?” At sumagot ang isa sa mga lingkod ng hari ng Israel at nagsabi: “Narito si Eliseo na anak ni Safat, na nagbuhos ng tubig sa mga kamay ni Elias.”
Rashi
Who poured water on the hands of Eliyahu. On Mount Carmel,7See I Melochim 18:34 and Rashi there. and with his pouring, his fingers became like springs of water, until the ditch filled up, and it is [therefore] fitting for a miracle to be performed for us through him concerning water.8See Yalkot Shimoni 247:214.9Alternatively, this is an expression to indicate Elisha’s total devotion to Eliyahu to the extent that he even poured water on Eliyahu’s hands. From here we derive that those who serve Torah scholars are greater than those who only study the Torah. See Maseches Berachos 7b.
