2 Kings 6:8-17

8Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.1 9And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for there the Syrians have come down. 10And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice. 11Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was greatly troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said to them, Will ye not show me which of us is for the king of Israel? 12And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.2

13And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and bring him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan. 14Therefore he sent there horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and surrounded the city.3 15And when the servant of the man of God had risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host surrounded the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?4 16And he answered, Fear not: for they that are with us are more than they that are with them. 17And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha.
