And the sons
of the prophets
said
unto
Elisha
,
Behold
now
, the place
where we dwell
with thee
is too
strait
for us.
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.
And he answered
,
Go
ye.
3
And one
said
,
Be content
, I pray thee, and go
with thy servants
.
And he answered
, I will go.
4
So he
went
with them. And when they came
to 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
,
master
!
for it was borrowed
.
6
And the man
of God
said
,
Where
fell
it? And he shewed
him the place
.
And he cut down
a stick
,
and cast
it
in thither; and the iron
did swim
.
7
Therefore said
he, Take
it
up to thee. And he put out
his hand
,
and took
it.
8
Then the king
of Syria
warred
against Israel
,
and took counsel
with his servants
,
saying
,
In such
and such
a place
shall be
my camp
.
9
And the man
of God
sent
unto the king
of Israel
,
saying
,
Beware
that thou pass
not such
a place
;
for thither the Syrians
are come down.
10
And the king
of Israel
sent
to the place
which
the man
of God
told
him and warned him of, and saved himself
there
, not once
nor twice
.
11
Therefore the heart
of the king
of Syria
was sore troubled
for
this
thing
;
and he called
his servants
,
and said
unto them, Will ye not shew
me
which
of us
is
for the king
of
Israel
?
12
And one
of his servants
said
, None, my lord,
O king
:
but Elisha
,
the prophet
that
is
in Israel
,
telleth
the king
of Israel
the words
that thou speakest
in thy bedchamber.
13
And he said
,
Go
and spy
where
he
is
, that I may send
and fetch
him. And it was told him, saying,
Behold
,
he is
in Dothan.
14
Therefore sent
he thither horses
,
and chariots
,
and a great
host
:
and they came
by night
, and compassed
the city
about
.
15
And when the servant
of the man
of God
was risen
early
,
and gone forth
,
behold
, an host
compassed
the city
both with horses
and chariots
.
And his servant
said
unto him, Alas,
my master
!
how shall we do
?
16
And he answered
,
Fear
not: for they that
be
with us
are
more than they that
be
with them.
17
And
Elisha
prayed
,
and said
,
LORD
, I
pray
thee, open
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
.
18
And when they came down
to him, Elisha
pray
ed
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
.
19
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
.
20
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
open
ed
their eyes
,
and they saw
; and, behold,
they were
in the midst
of Samaria
.
21
And the king
of Israel
said
unto Elisha
,
when he saw
them, My father,
shall I smite
them
?
shall I smite
them
?
22
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
.
23
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
.
24
And it
came
to pass after
this
,
that Benhadad
king
of Syria
gathered
all
his host
,
and went up
,
and besieged
Samaria
.
25
And there was a great
famine
in Samaria
: and, behold, they besieged it,
until
an ass's
head
was
sold
for fourscore
pieces
of silver
,
and the fourth part
of a cab
of dove's dung
for five
pieces
of silver
.
26
And as the king
of Israel
was passing by
upon the wall
,
there cried
a woman
unto him, saying,
Help
,
my lord
,
O king
.
27
And he said
,
If the LORD
do not help
thee, whence
shall I help
thee? out of the barnflo
or
,
or
out of
the wine
press?
28
And the king
said
unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered,
This woman
said
unto me, Give
thy son
,
that we may eat
him to day
,
and we will eat
my son
to morrow
.
29
So we boiled
my son
,
and did eat
him: and I said
unto her on the next
day
,
Give
thy son
,
that we may eat
him: and she hath hid
her son
.
30
And it came to pass, when the king
heard
the words
of the woman
,
that he rent
his clothes
;
and he passed by
upon the wall
,
and the people
looked
, and, behold,
he had
sackcloth
within
upon his flesh
.
31
Then he said
,
God
do
so
and more
al
so
to me,
if
the head of Elisha
the
so
n
of Shaphat
shall stand
on him this day
.
32
But Elisha
sat
in his house
,
and the elders
sat
with him; and
the king
sent
a man
from
before
him: but ere the messenger
came
to him, he said
to the elders
,
See
ye
how
this
son
of a murderer
hath sent
to take away
mine head? look,
when the messenger
cometh
,
shut
the door
,
and hold him fast
at
the door
:
is
not the sound
of his master's
feet
behind
him?
33
And while he yet talked
with them,
behold
, the messenger
came down
unto him: and he said,
Behold
, this evil
is
of the LORD
;
what should I wait
for the LORD
any
longer?
