lesserot - 2Kings:6:8-23

lesserot@2Kings:6:8 @ And the king of Syria made war against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.

lesserot@2Kings:6:9 @ And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not that place; for thither the Syrians are come down.

lesserot@2Kings:6:10 @ And the king of Israel sent to the place, which the man of God had told him and warned him of, and he took care of himself there: not once nor twice.

lesserot@2Kings:6:11 @ Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sorely troubled concerning this thing; and he called for his servants, and said unto them, Can ye not tell me who of us is for the king of Israel?

lesserot@2Kings:6:12 @ And one of his servants said, Not so, my Lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, can tell unto the king of Israel the words that thou mayest speak in thy sleepingchamber.

lesserot@2Kings:6:13 @ And he said, Go and see where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told unto him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.

lesserot@2Kings:6:14 @ And he sent thither horses, and chariots, and a strong army: and they came by night, and surrounded the city.

lesserot@2Kings:6:15 @ And the servant of the man of God rose early, and went forth, when, behold, an army compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?

lesserot@2Kings:6:16 @ And he said, Fear not: for those that are with us are more than those that are with them.

lesserot@2Kings:6:17 @ And Elisha prayed, and said, O Lord, open, I pray thee, 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 round about Elisha.

lesserot@2Kings:6:18 @ And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the Lord, and said, Smite, I pray thee, this people with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.

lesserot@2Kings:6:19 @ And Elisha said unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will lead you to the man whom ye wish to seek. And he led them thus to Samaria.

lesserot@2Kings:6:20 @ And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha said, Lord, open the eyes of these, that they may see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw, and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.

lesserot@2Kings:6:21 @ And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, Shall I smite them? Shall I smite them, my father?

lesserot@2Kings:6:22 @ But he said, Thou shalt not smite them: wouldst thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.

lesserot@2Kings:6:23 @ And he prepared for them a great meal; and they ate and drank, and he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the predatory bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.
