2 Kings 6:13-19
13So he said, “Go and see where he is, so that I may send men and take him.” And it was told to him, saying, “Behold, he is in 1Dothan.” 14So he sent horses and chariots and a substantial army there, and they came by night and surrounded the city.
15Now when the attendant of the man of God had risen early and gone out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was circling the city. And his servant said to him, “This is hopeless, my master! 2What are we to do?” 16And he said, “3Do not be afraid, for 4those who are with us are 5greater than those who are with them.” 17Then Elisha prayed and said, “6Lord, please, open his eyes so that he may see.” And the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of 7horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. 18And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed to the Lord and said, “Please strike this 8people with blindness.” So He 9struck them with blindness in accordance with the word of Elisha. 19Then Elisha said to them, “This is not the way, nor is this the city; follow me and I will bring you to the man whom you seek.” And he brought them to Samaria.
