2 Kings 6:13-19

13The king of Syria said, ‘Go and find the place where he is. Then I will send some men there to catch him.’ A report came back to the king of Syria, ‘Elisha is in Dothan.’

14So the king sent a big army of soldiers there, with horses and chariots. They arrived during the night and they made their camp all around the city.

15The servant of Elisha, the man of God, got up early the next morning. He went out and he saw an army with horses and chariots all around the city. He said to Elisha, ‘Oh! My master! What can we do?’

16Elisha replied, ‘Do not be afraid. There are more men to fight for us than there are for them.’

17Then Elisha prayed, ‘Lord, please open my servant's eyes so that he can see clearly.’ The Lord opened the servant's eyes. Now he could see lots of horses and chariots that burned with fire. They were on the hill all around Elisha.

18When the enemy soldiers came towards Elisha, he prayed, ‘Lord, please make these people become blind.’ The Lord did what Elisha had asked. He made the enemy soldiers become blind.

19Elisha said to them, ‘You are on the wrong road. You have come to the wrong city. Follow me! I will lead you to the man that you are looking for.’ Elisha led them to Samaria.
