2 Kings - ch 6 v 1 - 20

  1. The sons of the prophets said to Elisha, See now, the place where we dwell before you is too strait for us.
  2. Let us go, we pray you, to the Jordan, and take there every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. He answered, Go you.
  3. One said, Be pleased, I pray you, to go with your servants. He answered, I will go.
  4. So he went with them. When they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.
  5. But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water; and he cried, and said, Alas, my master! for it was borrowed.
  6. The man of God asked, "Where did it fall?" He showed him the place. He cut down a stick, threw it in there, and made the iron float.
  7. He said, "Take it." So he put out his hand and took it.
  8. Now the king of Syria was warring against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.
  9. The man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, Beware that you not pass such a place; for there the Syrians are coming down.
  10. The king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of; and he saved himself there, not once nor twice.
  11. The heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said to them, Won't you show me which of us is for the king of Israel?
  12. One of his servants said, No, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedchamber.
  13. He said, Go and see where he is, that I may send and get him. It was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
  14. Therefore sent he there horses, and chariots, and a great army: and they came by night, and surrounded the city.
  15. When the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an army with horses and chariots was around the city. His servant said to him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
  16. He answered, Don't be afraid; for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.
  17. Elisha prayed, and said, Yahweh, Please open his eyes, that he may see. Yahweh opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha.
  18. When they came down to him, Elisha prayed to Yahweh, and said, Please smite this people with blindness. He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
  19. Elisha said to them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek. He led them to Samaria.
  20. It happened, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha said, Yahweh, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. Yahweh opened their eyes, and they saw; and behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.
