said
unto
Elisha

dwell
with thee is too
strait
for us.
strkjv@2Kings:6:2
@ Let us
go
, we pray thee, unto
Jordan
, and
take
thence every
man
a
beam
, and let us
make
us a
place
there, where we may
dwell

answered
,
Go
ye.
strkjv@2Kings:6:3

one
said
, Be
content
, I pray thee, and
go
with thy
servants

answered

go

strkjv@2Kings:6:4
@ So he
went
with them. And when they
came

Jordan

down
wood

strkjv@2Kings:6:5

one
was
felling
a
beam

fell
into the

cried

Alas

master

borrowed
.
strkjv@2Kings:6:6

man

God
said

Where
fell
it? And he
shewed
him the
place

down
a
stick

cast
it in thither; and the
iron
did
swim
.
strkjv@2Kings:6:7
@ Therefore
said
he, Take it
up
to thee. And he put
out
his
hand

took
it.
strkjv@2Kings:6:8
@ Then the
king

Syria
warred
against
Israel

counsel

saying

shall be my
camp

strkjv@2Kings:6:9

sent
unto the

Beware

down

called
his

me which of us is for the

strkjv@2Kings:6:12

telleth
the

the
words
that thou
speakest

bedchamber

Go

him,

sent
he thither
horses

came
by
night

compassed
the
city
about

risen
early

forth

city

unto him,
Alas

master
! how shall we
do
?
strkjv@2Kings:6:16
@ And he
answered

Fear
not: for they that be with us are
more

strkjv@2Kings:6:17
@ And
Elisha
prayed

LORD

fire
round
about
Elisha

smote
them with

Elisha
said
unto them, This is not the

strkjv@2Kings:6:24
@ And it came to pass after
this
, that
Benhadad

all his

up

besieged
Samaria

besieged
it, until an

was sold for
fourscore
pieces of
silver

of doves
dung
charey- for
five
pieces of

Help

king

strkjv@2Kings:6:27
@ And he
said

thee,
whence

thee? out of the

Give

shut
