2 Kings 6:8-23

8Now the kingH4428 of AramH758 was makingH3898 warH3898 against IsraelH3478; and he consultedH3289 with his servantsH5650, sayingH559, “In suchH6423 and suchH492 a placeH4725 shall be my campH8466.” 9But 1the manH376 of GodH430 sentH7971 word to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, “BeH8104 carefulH8104 that you do not passH5674 thisH2088 placeH4725, becauseH3588 the ArameansH758 are comingH5185 downH5185 thereH8033.” 10And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 scouts to the placeH4725 about whichH834 the manH376 of GodH430 had toldH559 him; so he warnedH2094 him, so that he was on his guardH8104 thereH8033, 2more than onceH259 or twiceH8147.

11Now the heartH3820 of the kingH4428 of AramH758 was enragedH5590 overH5921 thisH2088 matterH1697; and he calledH7121 his servantsH5650 and saidH559 to them, “Will you not tellH5046 me whichH4310 of us is for the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478?” 12OneH259 of his servantsH5650 saidH559, “NoH3808, my lordH113, the kingH4428; but ElishaH477, the prophetH5030 whoH834 is in IsraelH3478, tellsH5046 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 the wordsH1697 that you speakH1696 in your bedroomH2315H4904.” 13So he saidH559, “GoH1980 and seeH7200 whereH351 he is, so that I may sendH7971 men and takeH3947 him.” And it was toldH5046 to him, sayingH559, “BeholdH2009, he is in 3DothanH1886.” 14So he sentH7971 horsesH5483 and chariotsH7393 and a substantialH3515 armyH2428 thereH8033, and they cameH935 by nightH3915 and surroundedH5362 the cityH5892.

15Now when the attendantH8334 of the manH376 of GodH430 had risenH6965 earlyH7925 and goneH3318 outH3318, beholdH2009, an armyH2428 with horsesH5483 and chariotsH7393 was circlingH5437 the cityH5892. And his servantH5288 saidH559 to him, “ThisH162 isH162 hopelessH162, my masterH113! 4WhatH351 are we to doH6213?” 16And he saidH559, “5Do not beH3372 afraidH3372, for 6those whoH834 are with us are 7greaterH7227 thanH4480 those whoH834 are with them.” 17Then ElishaH477 prayedH6419 and saidH559, “8LordH3068, pleaseH4994, openH6491 his eyesH5869 so that he may seeH7200.” And the LordH3068 openedH6491 the servant’sH5288 eyesH5869, and he sawH7200; and beholdH2009, the mountainH2022 was fullH4390 of 9horsesH5483 and chariotsH7393 of fireH784 allH5439 aroundH5439 ElishaH477. 18And when they cameH3381 downH3381 to him, ElishaH477 prayedH6419 to the LordH3068 and saidH559, “PleaseH4994 strikeH5221 thisH2088 10peopleH1471 with blindnessH5575.” So He 11struckH5221 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, “12LordH3068, 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, “13My fatherH1, shall I 14killH5221 them? Shall I 15killH5221 them?” 22But he 16answeredH559, “You shall not 17killH5221 them. Would you 1819killH5221 those whomH834 you have takenH7617 captiveH7617 with your swordH2719 and your bowH7198? 20SetH7760 breadH3899 and waterH4325 beforeH6440 them, so that they may eatH398 and drinkH8354, and goH1980 to their masterH113.” 23So he providedH3738 a largeH1419 feastH3740 for them; and when they had eatenH398 and drunkH8354, he sentH7971 them awayH7971, and they wentH1980 to their masterH113. And 21the maraudingH1416 bandsH1416 of ArameansH758 did not comeH935 againH5750H3254 into the landH776 of IsraelH3478.
