2 Kings 4:42-44
Elisha said, "Pass it around to the people to eat."
43 His servant said, "For a hundred men? There's not nearly enough!"
Elisha said, "Just go ahead and do it. GOD says there's plenty."
44 And sure enough, there was. He passed around what he had — they not only ate, but had leftovers.

This is an Old Testament version of the feeding of the 5000.
2 Kings 4:14-16
Gehazi said, "Well, she has no son, and her husband is an old man."
15 "Call her in," said Elisha. He called her and she stood at the open door.
16 Elisha said to her, "This time next year you're going to be nursing an infant son."
2 Kings 3:17
17 Here's what will happen — you won't hear the wind, you won't see the rain, but this valley is going to fill up with water and your army and your animals will drink their fill.

God is NOT like humans. He doesn’t need to bring attention to Himself.
2 Kings 2:14
When he struck the water, the river divided and Elisha walked through.
2 Kings 2:8
8 Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up, and hit the water with it. The river divided and the two men walked through on dry land.

1 Kings 11:6
6 Solomon openly defied GOD; he did not follow in his father David's footsteps.

You won’t hear a sermon on this!
1 Kings 11:4
4 As Solomon grew older, his wives beguiled him with their alien gods and he became unfaithful — he didn't stay true to his GOD as his father David had done.
