2 Kings 6:18-22
18And when they cameH3381 downH3381 to him, ElishaH477 prayedH6419 to the LordH3068 and saidH559, “PleaseH4994 strikeH5221 thisH2088 1peopleH1471 with blindnessH5575.” So He 2struckH5221 them with blindnessH5575 in accordance with the wordH1697 of ElishaH477. 19Then ElishaH477 saidH559 to them, “ThisH2088 is not the wayH1870, norH3808 is thisH2090 the cityH5892; followH1980H310 me and I will bringH1980 you to the manH376 whomH834 you seekH1245.” And he broughtH1980 them to SamariaH8111.
20When they had comeH935 into SamariaH8111, ElishaH477 saidH559, “3LordH3068, openH6491 the eyesH5869 of theseH428 men, so that they may seeH7200.” So the LordH3068 openedH6491 their eyesH5869, and they sawH7200; and beholdH2009, they were in the midstH8432 of SamariaH8111. 21Then the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 when he sawH7200 them, saidH559 to ElishaH477, “4My fatherH1, shall I 5killH5221 them? Shall I 6killH5221 them?” 22But he 7answeredH559, “You shall not 8killH5221 them. Would you 910killH5221 those whomH834 you have takenH7617 captiveH7617 with your swordH2719 and your bowH7198? 11SetH7760 breadH3899 and waterH4325 beforeH6440 them, so that they may eatH398 and drinkH8354, and goH1980 to their masterH113.”
