2 Kings 6:8-23

Then the king
<04428>
of Syria
<0758>
warred
<03898> (8737)
against Israel
<03478>_,
and took counsel
<03289> (8735)
with his servants
<05650>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
In such
<06423>
and such
<0492>
a place
<04725>
[shall be] my camp
<08466>_.
{camp: or, encamping}
And the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
sent
<07971> (8799)
unto the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Beware
<08104> (8734)
that thou pass
<05674> (8800)
not such
<02088>
a place
<04725>_;
for thither the Syrians
<0758>
are come down
<05185>_.
And the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
sent
<07971> (8799)
to the place
<04725>
which the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
told
<0559> (8804)
him and warned
<02094> (8689)
him of, and saved
<08104> (8738)
himself there, not once
<0259>
nor twice
<08147>_.
Therefore the heart
<03820>
of the king
<04428>
of Syria
<0758>
was sore troubled
<05590> (8735)
for this thing
<01697>_;
and he called
<07121> (8799)
his servants
<05650>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Will ye not shew
<05046> (8686)
me which of us [is] for the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_?
And one
<0259>
of his servants
<05650>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
None, my lord
<0113>_,
O king
<04428>_:
but Elisha
<0477>_,
the prophet
<05030>
that [is] in Israel
<03478>_,
telleth
<05046> (8686)
the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
the words
<01697>
that thou speakest
<01696> (8762)
in thy bedchamber
<02315> <04904>_.
{None: Heb. No}
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go
<03212> (8798)
and spy
<07200> (8798)
where
<0351>
he [is], that I may send
<07971> (8799)
and fetch
<03947> (8799)
him. And it was told
<05046> (8714)
him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Behold, [he is] in Dothan
<01886>_.
Therefore sent
<07971> (8799)
he thither horses
<05483>_,
and chariots
<07393>_,
and a great
<03515>
host
<02428>_:
and they came
<0935> (8799)
by night
<03915>_,
and compassed
<05362> (0)
the city
<05892>
about
<05362> (8686)_.
{great: Heb. heavy}
And when the servant
<08334> (8764)
of the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
was risen
<06965> (8800)
early
<07925> (8686)_,
and gone forth
<03318> (8799)_,
behold, an host
<02428>
compassed
<05437> (8802)
the city
<05892>
both with horses
<05483>
and chariots
<07393>_.
And his servant
<05288>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Alas
<0162>_,
my master
<0113>_!
how shall we do
<06213> (8799)_?
{the servant: or, the minister}
And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,
Fear
<03372> (8799)
not: for they that [be] with us [are] more
<07227>
than they that [be] with them.
And Elisha
<0477>
prayed
<06419> (8691)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
LORD
<03068>_,
I pray thee, open
<06491> (8798)
his eyes
<05869>_,
that he may see
<07200> (8799)_.
And the LORD
<03068>
opened
<06491> (8799)
the eyes
<05869>
of the young man
<05288>_;
and he saw
<07200> (8799)_:
and, behold, the mountain
<02022>
[was] full
<04390> (8804)
of horses
<05483>
and chariots
<07393>
of fire
<0784>
round about
<05439>
Elisha
<0477>_.
And when they came down
<03381> (8799)
to him, Elisha
<0477>
prayed
<06419> (8691)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Smite
<05221> (8685)
this people
<01471>_,
I pray thee, with blindness
<05575>_.
And he smote
<05221> (8686)
them with blindness
<05575>
according to the word
<01697>
of Elisha
<0477>_.
And Elisha
<0477>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, This [is] not the way
<01870>_,
neither [is] this
<02090>
the city
<05892>_:
follow
<03212> (8798) <0310>
me, and I will bring
<03212> (8686)
you to the man
<0376>
whom ye seek
<01245> (8762)_.
But he led
<03212> (8686)
them to Samaria
<08111>_.
{follow...: Heb. come ye after me}
And it came to pass, when they were come
<0935> (8800)
into Samaria
<08111>_,
that Elisha
<0477>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
LORD
<03068>_,
open
<06491> (8798)
the eyes
<05869>
of these [men], that they may see
<07200> (8799)_.
And the LORD
<03068>
opened
<06491> (8799)
their eyes
<05869>_,
and they saw
<07200> (8799)_;
and, behold, [they were] in the midst
<08432>
of Samaria
<08111>_.
And the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Elisha
<0477>_,
when he saw
<07200> (8800)
them, My father
<01>_,
shall I smite
<05221> (8686)
[them]? shall I smite
<05221> (8686)
[them]?
And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,
Thou shalt not smite
<05221> (8686)
[them]: wouldest thou smite
<05221> (8688)
those whom thou hast taken captive
<07617> (8804)
with thy sword
<02719>
and with thy bow
<07198>_?
set
<07760> (8798)
bread
<03899>
and water
<04325>
before
<06440>
them, that they may eat
<0398> (8799)
and drink
<08354> (8799)_,
and go
<03212> (8799)
to their master
<0113>_.
And he prepared
<03739> (8799)
great
<01419>
provision
<03740>
for them: and when they had eaten
<0398> (8799)
and drunk
<08354> (8799)_,
he sent them away
<07971> (8762)_,
and they went
<03212> (8799)
to their master
<0113>_.
So the bands
<01416>
of Syria
<0758>
came
<0935> (8800)
no more
<03254> (8804)
into the land
<0776>
of Israel
<03478>_.
