2 Kings 6:21-22

21When the king of Israel saw them, he asked Elisha, “Should I strike them down, my master?”

22He replied, “Do not strike them down! You did not capture them with your sword or bow, so what gives you the right to strike them down? Give them some food and water, so they can eat and drink and then go back to their master.”
