2 Kings 6:13-19
13The king ordered, “Go, find out where he is, so I can send some men to capture him.” The king was told, “He is in Dothan.”
14So he sent horses and chariots there, along with a good-sized army. They arrived during the night and surrounded the city.
15The prophet’s attendant got up early in the morning. When he went outside there was an army surrounding the city, along with horses and chariots. He said to Elisha, “Oh no, my master! What will we do?”
16He replied, “Don’t be afraid, for our side outnumbers them.”
17Then Elisha prayed, “O Lord, open his eyes so he can see.” The Lord opened the servant’s eyes and he saw that the hill was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
18As they approached him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, “Strike these people with blindness.” The Lord struck them with blindness as Elisha requested.
19Then Elisha said to them, “This is not the right road or city. Follow me, and I will lead you to the man you’re looking for.” He led them to Samaria.
