2 Kings 6:5-15

5But as oneH259 was fellingH5307 a beamH6982, the axe headH1270 fellH5307 into the waterH4325: and he criedH6817, and saidH559, AlasH162, masterH113! for it was borrowedH7592.1 6And the manH376 of GodH430 saidH559, WhereH575 fellH5307 it? And he shewedH7200 him the placeH4725. And he cut downH7094 a stickH6086, and castH7993 it in thither; and the ironH1270 did swimH6687. 7Therefore saidH559 he, Take it upH7311 to thee. And he put outH7971 his handH3027, and tookH3947 it.

8Then the kingH4428 of SyriaH758 warredH3898 against IsraelH3478, and took counselH3289 with his servantsH5650, sayingH559, In suchH6423 and suchH492 a placeH4725 shall be my campH8466.2 9And the manH376 of GodH430 sentH7971 unto the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, BewareH8104 that thou passH5674 not suchH2088 a placeH4725; for thither the SyriansH758 are come downH5185. 10And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 to the placeH4725 which the manH376 of GodH430 toldH559 him and warnedH2094 him of, and savedH8104 himself there, not onceH259 nor twiceH8147. 11Therefore the heartH3820 of the kingH4428 of SyriaH758 was sore troubledH5590 for this thingH1697; and he calledH7121 his servantsH5650, and saidH559 unto them, Will ye not shewH5046 me which of us is for the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478? 12And oneH259 of his servantsH5650 saidH559, None, my lordH113, O kingH4428: but ElishaH477, the prophetH5030 that is in IsraelH3478, tellethH5046 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 the wordsH1697 that thou speakestH1696 in thy bedchamberH4904H2315.3

13And he saidH559, GoH3212 and spyH7200 whereH351 he is, that I may sendH7971 and fetchH3947 him. And it was toldH5046 him, sayingH559, Behold, he is in DothanH1886. 14Therefore sentH7971 he thither horsesH5483, and chariotsH7393, and a greatH3515 armyH2428: and they cameH935 by nightH3915, and compassedH5362 the cityH5892 aboutH5362.4 15And when the servantH8334 of the manH376 of GodH430 was risenH6965 earlyH7925, and gone forthH3318, behold, an armyH2428 compassedH5437 the cityH5892 both with horsesH5483 and chariotsH7393. And his servantH5288 saidH559 unto him, AlasH162, my masterH113! how shall we doH6213?5
