2 Kings 6:19-23

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, “1Lord, 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, “2My father, shall I 3kill them? Shall I 4kill them?” 22But he 5answered, “You shall not 6kill them. Would you 78kill those whom you have taken captive with your sword and your bow? 9Set bread and water before them, so that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.” 23So he provided a large feast for them; and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. And 10the marauding bands of Arameans did not come again into the land of Israel.
