It seems that Elisa lived in a time that was very lonely for the righteous. They didn’t seem to have anything in the way of organization out community. He prophesied and ministers to righteous individuals but as a society there seemed to be nothing going on in the way of keeping the covenants.
Avoiding to the Bible Dictionary Elisha was a trusted advisor to the kings of Israel during his ministry which might indicate that things were better for the righteous than they were during the days when Elijah was being persecuted by the kings of the nation.
