1
Now the sons
of the prophets
said
to Elisha,
"Behold
now,
the place
before
you where
we are living
is too
limited
for us.
2
"Please
let us go
to the Jordan
and each
of us take
from
there
a beam,
and let us make
a place
there
for ourselves where
we may live."
So he said,
"Go."
3
Then one
said,
"Please
be willing
to go
with your servants."
And he answered,
"I shall go."
4
So he went
with them; and when they came
to the Jordan,
they cut down
trees.
5
But as one
was felling
a beam,
the axe head
fell
into the water;
and he cried
out and said,
"Alas,
my master!
For it was borrowed."
6
Then the man
of God
said,
"Where
did it fall?"
And when he showed
him the place,
he cut off
a stick
and threw
it in there,
and made the iron
float.
7
He said,
"Take
it up for yourself." So he put
out his hand
and took
it.
8
Now the king
of Aram
was warring
against Israel;
and he counseled
with his servants
saying,
"In such
and such
a place
shall be my camp."
9
The man
of God
sent
word to the king
of Israel
saying,
"Beware
that you do not pass
this
place,
for the Arameans
are coming down
there."
10
The king
of Israel
sent
to the place
about which
the man
of God
had told
him; thus he warned
him, so that he guarded
himself there,
more than once
or twice.
11
Now the heart
of the king
of Aram
was enraged
over
this
thing;
and he called
his servants
and said
to them, "Will you tell
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 bedroom."
13
So he said,
"Go
and see
where
he is, that I may send
and take
him." And it was told
him, saying,
"Behold,
he is in Dothan."
14
He sent
horses
and chariots
and a great
army
there,
and they came
by night
and surrounded
the city.
15
Now when the attendant
of the man
of God
had risen
early
and gone
out, behold,
an army
with horses
and chariots
was circling
the city.
And his servant
said
to him, "Alas,
my master!
What
shall we do?"
16
So he answered,
"Do not fear,
for
those who
are with us are more
than
those who
are with them."
17
Then Elisha
prayed
and said,
"O LORD,
I pray,
open
his
eyes
that he may see."
And the LORD
opened
the servant's
eyes
and he saw;
and behold,
the mountain
was full
of horses
and chariots
of fire
all around
Elisha.
18
When they came down
to him, Elisha
prayed
to the LORD
and said,
"Strike
this
people
with blindness,
I pray."
So He struck
them with blindness
according to the word
of Elisha.
19
Then Elisha
said
to them, "This
is not the way,
nor
is this
the city;
follow
me and I will bring
you to the man
whom
you seek."
And he brought
them to Samaria.
20
When they had come
into Samaria,
Elisha
said,
"O LORD,
open
the eyes
of these
men, that they may see."
So the LORD
open
ed
their eyes
and they saw;
and behold,
they were in the midst
of Samaria.
21
Then the king
of Israel
when he saw
them, said
to Elisha,
"My father,
shall I kill
them? Shall I kill
them?"
22
He answered,
"You shall not kill
them. Would you kill
those you have taken
captive
with your sword
and with your bow?
Set
bread
and water
before
them, that they may eat
and drink
and go
to their master."
23
So he prepared
a great
feast
for them; and when they had eaten
and drunk
he sent them away,
and they went
to their master.
And the marauding bands
of Arameans
did
not come
again
into the land
of Israel.
24
Now it came
about after
this,
that Ben-hadad
king
of Aram
gathered
all
his army
and went
up and besieged
Samaria.
25
There was a great
famine
in Samaria;
and behold,
they besieged
it, until
a donkey's
head
was sold
for eighty
shekels of silver,
and a fourth
of a kab
of dove's
dung
for five
shekels of silver.
26
As the king
of Israel
was passing
by on the wall
a woman
cried
out to him, saying,
"Help,
my lord,
O king!"
27
He said,
"If the LORD
does not help
you, from where
shall I help
you? From the threshing flo
or
,
or
from the wine press?"
28
And the king
said
to her, "What
is the matter with you?" And she answered,
"This
woman
said
to me, 'Give
your son
that we may eat
him today,
and we will eat
my son
tomorrow.'
29
"So we boiled
my son
and ate
him; and I said
to her on the next
day,
'Give
your son,
that we may eat
him'; but she has hidden
her son."
30
When the king
heard
the words
of the woman,
he tore
his clothes--
now he was passing
by on the wall--
and the people
looked,
and behold,
he had sackcloth
beneath
on his body.
31
Then he said,
"May God
do
so
to me and more
al
so
,
if
the head
of Elisha
the
so
n
of Shaphat
remains
on him today."
32
Now Elisha
was sitting
in his house,
and the elders
were sitting
with him. And the king sent
a man
from his presence;
but before
the messenger
came
to him, he said
to the elders,
"Do you see
how
this
son
of a murderer
has sent
to take away
my head?
Look,
when
the messenger
comes,
shut
the door
and hold
the door
shut
against him. Is not the sound
of his master's
feet
behind
him?"
33
While he was still
talking
with them, behold,
the messenger
came down
to him and he said,
"Behold,
this
evil
is from the LORD;
why
should I wait
for the LORD
any longer?"
