2 Kings 6:21-23

21Then the king of Israel when he saw them, said to Elisha, “1My father, shall I 2kill them? Shall I 3kill them?” 22He 4answered, “You shall not 5kill them. Would you 6 7kill those you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? 8Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink and go to their master.” 23So he prepared a great feast for them; and when they had eaten and drunk he sent them away, and they went to their master. And 9the marauding bands of Arameans did not come again into the land of Israel.
