Elisha pored water on the hands of Elijah this might have happened when Elisha made feast to his people.Elisha would have fed Elijah too and would have pored water submisevly on the hands of Elijah before and after having enjoyed the feast.

The way up is down. It is made known that there were many sons of prophets i.e students under the prophetic college of Elijah the prophet, but it was only Elisha the son of Shaphat that was recognized for his diligent service to the master. For any one to make an ompact in leadrship, you must have made an impact in followership. In followership, patience is a great and extra ordinary virtue needed. If an egg says that it has stayed too much under the incubation period of the mother hen and rolls away, it will neither be good for egg nor as a chicken.
