2 Kings 6:12

And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that [is] in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.

And one {H259} of his servants {H5650} said {H559}, None, my lord {H113}, O king {H4428}: but Elisha {H477}, the prophet {H5030} that is in Israel {H3478}, telleth {H5046} the king {H4428} of Israel {H3478} the words {H1697} that thou speakest {H1696} in thy bedchamber {H2315}{H4904}.

One of his servants replied, "It's not that, my lord, king. Rather, Elisha, the prophet who is in Isra'el, tells the king of Isra'el the words you speak privately in your own bedroom!"

But one of his servants replied, “No one, my lord the king. For Elisha, the prophet in Israel, tells the king of Israel the very words you speak in your bedroom.”

And one of his servants said, Nay, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.
