*
And when they came down to him ,
Elisha prayed unto the LORD ,
and said ,
Smite this people ,
I pray thee ,
with blindness .
And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha .
*
And Elisha said unto them ,
This is not the way ,
neither is this the city :
follow me ,
and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek .
But he led them to Samaria .
*
And it came to pass ,
when they were come into Samaria ,
that Elisha said ,
LORD ,
open the eyes of these men ,
that they may see .
And the LORD opened their eyes ,
and they saw ;
and ,
behold ,
they were in the midst of Samaria .
*
And the king of Israel said unto Elisha ,
when he saw them ,
My father ,
shall I smite them ?
shall I smite them ?
*
And he answered ,
Thou shalt not smite them :
wouldest 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 .
*
And he prepared great provision for them :
and when they had eaten and drunk ,
he sent them away ,
and they went to their master .
So the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel .
