2 Kings 6:8-23

8NowH1961 the kingH4428 of SyriaH758 warred againstH413 IsraelH3478; and he tookH1961 counselH3289 with his servantsH5650, sayingH559, In suchH492 and suchH492 a placeH4725 shall be my campH8466.

9And the manH376 of GodH430 sentH7971 unto the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, BewareH8104 that thou passH5674 notH2088 suchH2088 a placeH4725; for thither the Syrians are comingH5185 downH7971.

10And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 to the placeH4725 whichH834 the manH376 of GodH430 toldH559 him and warnedH559 him of; and he saved himselfH413 there, notH3808 onceH259 norH3808 twiceH8147.

11And the heartH3820 of the kingH4428 of SyriaH758 was sore troubled for this thingH1697; and he calledH7121 his servantsH5650, and saidH559 unto them, Will ye notH3808 shew meH413 whichH7945 of usH413 is for the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478?

12And one of his servantsH5650 saidH559, Nay, my lordH113, O kingH4428: but ElishaH477, the prophetH5030 that is in IsraelH3478, telleth the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 the wordsH1697 that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.

13And he saidH559, GoH7971 and seeH7200 whereH2009 he is, that I may sendH7971 and fetch him. And it was toldH5046 him, sayingH559, BeholdH2009, he is in DothanH1886.

14Therefore sentH7971 he thither horsesH5483, and chariotsH7393, and a greatH3515 host: and they cameH935 by nightH3915, and compassed the cityH5892 aboutH5921.

15And when the servantH5288 of the manH376 of GodH430 was risenH6965 earlyH7925, and goneH3318 forthH3318, beholdH2009, an host with horsesH5483 and chariotsH7393 was roundH5437 aboutH413 the cityH5892. And his servantH5288 saidH559 unto him, AlasH162, my masterH113! howH349 shall weH6213 doH6213?

16And he answeredH559, FearH3372 notH408: for they that be with usH3588 are moreH3588 thanH7227 they that be with them.

17And ElishaH477 prayedH6419, and saidH559, LORDH3068, I prayH6419 thee, openH6491 his eyesH5869, that he may seeH7200. And the LORDH3068 openedH6491 the eyesH5869 of the youngH5288 manH5288; and he sawH7200: and, beholdH2009, the mountainH2022 was fullH4390 of horsesH5483 and chariotsH7393 of fireH784 roundH5439 aboutH5439 ElishaH477.

18And when they cameH3381 downH3381 to him, ElishaH477 prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068, and saidH559, SmiteH5221 this peopleH1471, I prayH6419 thee, with blindnessH5575. And he smoteH5221 them with blindnessH5575 accordingH413 to the wordH1697 of ElishaH477.

19And ElishaH477 saidH559 unto them, This is notH3808 the wayH1870, neitherH3808 is this the cityH5892: followH310 meH413, and I will bring youH834 to the manH376 whomH834 ye seekH1245. And he led them to SamariaH8111.

20And it cameH935 to passH935, when they were comeH935 intoH935 SamariaH8111, that ElishaH477 saidH559, LORDH3068, openH6491 the eyesH5869 of theseH428 menH428, that they may seeH7200. And the LORDH3068 openedH6491 their eyesH5869, and they sawH7200; and, beholdH2009, they were in the midstH8432 of SamariaH8111.

21And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto ElishaH477, when he sawH7200 them, My fatherH1; shall I smiteH5221 them? shall I smiteH5221 them?

22And he answeredH559, Thou shalt notH3808 smiteH5221 them: wouldest thou smiteH5221 thoseH834 whomH834 thou hast takenH7617 captiveH7617 with thy swordH2719 and with thy bowH7198? setH7760 breadH3899 and waterH4325 beforeH6440 them, that they may eatH398 and drinkH8354, and go to their masterH113.

23And he prepared greatH1419 provision for them: and when they had eatenH398 and drunkH8354, he sentH7971 them awayH7971, and they wentH935 to their masterH113. And the bandsH1416 of SyriaH758 cameH935 noH3808 moreH5750 intoH413 the landH776 of IsraelH3478.
