New American Standard Bible
13 Now Elisha said to the king of Israel, “[a]What business do you have with me? (A)Go to your father’s prophets and your mother’s prophets.” But the king of Israel said to him, “No, for the Lord has called these three kings together to hand them over to Moab.” 14 Elisha said, “(B)As surely as the Lord of armies lives, before whom I stand, if I did not respect Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look at you nor see you. 15 But now (C)bring me a [b]musician.” And it came about, when the [c]musician played, that (D)the hand of the Lord came upon him.

2 Kings 3:13-15
New International Version
13 Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Why do you want to involve me? Go to the prophets of your father and the prophets of your mother.”
“No,” the king of Israel answered, “because it was the Lord who called us three kings together to deliver us into the hands of Moab.”
14 Elisha said, “As surely as the Lord Almighty lives, whom I serve, if I did not have respect for the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not pay any attention to you. 15 But now bring me a harpist.”(A)
While the harpist was playing, the hand(B) of the Lord came on Elisha
