2 Kings 1-4

I wonder if God enjoys music above all the other arts? In chapter 3 verse 15 Elisha calls for a musician. We don't know what the musician played or if Elisha sang a song of praise, but we are told that God spoke to his prophet while the music played. I can imagine the picture of three kings pacing back and forth while Elisha sang a song about God's love. The worried looks on the faces of the kings was a dramatic contrast to the joy and peace of worship that shone from Elisha. I wonder how the musician felt playing to such an audience?
It took me about 20 minutes to read this passage yesterday.  I forgot to send it out..
