“So, the king who couldn’t keep a secret from God was now demanding that his soldier go and arrest this prophet…Do you see the hole in his logic? Would they sneak up on him? Perhaps wear camouflage? Ninja-style?” - Richard Bargas

I doubt the king believed in God. Or that God was telling Elisha things. He probably disbelieved his own men when they claimed not to be spying for Israel. Whoever was leaking seemed to be giving his info to Elisha. Thus, he becomes the target.
