2 Kings 6:18-22

18And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed to the Lord and said, “Please strike this 1people with blindness.” So He 2struck 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.

20When they had come into Samaria, Elisha said, “3Lord, open the eyes of these men, so that they may see.” So the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw; and behold, they were in the midst of Samaria. 21Then the king of Israel when he saw them, said to Elisha, “4My father, shall I 5kill them? Shall I 6kill them?” 22But he 7answered, “You shall not 8kill them. Would you 910kill those whom you have taken captive with your sword and your bow? 11Set bread and water before them, so that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.”
