John Gill Commentary 2 Kings 3:14

"And Elisha said, As Jehovah of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee." — 2 Kings 3:14 (ASV)

Elisha said, as the Lord of hosts liveth, before whom I stand , &c.] Whose minster and prophet he was, to whom he prayed, and whose service he was ready to perform:

surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah ; revere him not only as a king, but as a pious prince, and a worshipper of the true God:

I would not look toward thee, nor see thee ; give him no countenance at all, pay no regard to his request, not so much as to look at him in a civil way; but turn away his face from him with contempt and disdain, as unworthy to be conversed with by a prophet of the Lord.
