6:22 He replied, “Do not strike them down! You did not capture them with your sword or bow, so what gives you the right to strike them down? ¹  Give them some food and water, so they can eat and drink and then go back to their master.” 6:23 So he threw a big banquet ²  for them and they ate and drank. Then he sent them back ³  to their master. After that no Syrian raiding parties again invaded the land of Israel.
