2 Kings 6:8-15

8Now the king of Aram was warring against Israel. He consulted with his officers, saying, “In such and such a place will be my camp.”

9But the man of God sent word to the king of Israel, saying, “Be careful not to pass this place, for the Arameans are coming down there.”

10So the king of Israel sent word to the place the man of God told him and warned him about, and so he was on his guard there—more than once or twice.

11His heart upset over this matter, the king of Aram summoned his officers and said to them, “Tell me, which one of us is on the king of Israel’s side?”

12But one of his officers said, “No, my lord the king. Rather, Elisha the prophet who is in Israel keeps telling the king of Israel the very words that you speak in your bedroom!”

13So he said, “Go, see where he is, so I may send and seize him.” Then it was reported to him, “Behold, he is in Dothan.”

14So he sent horses, chariots and a great army there. They arrived at night and surrounded the city.

15Now when the attendant of the man of God had risen early and gone out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was surrounding the city. So his attendant said to him, “Alas, my master! What are we going to do?”
