2 Kings 6:8-15

8Now the kingH4428 of Syria wasH1961 warring against IsraelH3478; and he took counselH3289 with his servantsH5650, sayingH559, In such and such a placeH4725 shall beH1961 my camp. 9And the manH376 of GodH430 sentH7971 unto the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, Beware that thou passH5674 not such a placeH4725; for thither the Syrians are coming down. 10And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 to the placeH4725 which the manH376 of GodH430 told him and warned him of; and he saved himself there, not once nor twice. 11And the heartH3820 of the kingH4428 of Syria was sore troubled for this thingH1697; and he calledH7121 his servantsH5650, and saidH559 unto them, Will ye not show me which of us is for the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478? 12And oneH259 of his servantsH5650 saidH559, Nay, my lordH113, O kingH4428; but ElishaH477, the prophetH5030 that is in IsraelH3478, telleth the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 the wordsH1697 that thou speakest in thy bedchamber. 13And he saidH559, GoH7971 and seeH7200 where he is, that I may sendH7971 and fetch him. And it was toldH5046 him, sayingH559, Behold, he is in DothanH1886.

14Therefore sentH7971 he thither horsesH5483, and chariotsH7393, and a great host: and they cameH935 by nightH3915, and compassed the cityH5892 about. 15And when the servantH5288 of the manH376 of GodH430 was risenH6965 earlyH7925, and goneH3318 forthH3318, behold, a host with horsesH5483 and chariotsH7393 was roundH5437 about the cityH5892. And his servantH5288 saidH559 unto him, AlasH162, my masterH113! howH349 shall we do?
