2 Kings 6:8-23

6:8

Then the king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>

warred
<03898> (8737)

against Israel
<03478>_,

and took counsel
<03289> (8735)

with his servants
<05650>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

In such
<06423>

and such
<0492>

a place
<04725>

[shall be] my camp
<08466>_.

{camp: or, encamping}

6:9

And the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

sent
<07971> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Beware
<08104> (8734)

that thou pass
<05674> (8800)

not such
<02088>

a place
<04725>_;

for thither the Syrians
<0758>

are come down
<05185>_.

6:10

And the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

sent
<07971> (8799)

to the place
<04725>

which the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

told
<0559> (8804)

him and warned
<02094> (8689)

him of, and saved
<08104> (8738)

himself there, not once
<0259>

nor twice
<08147>_.

6:11

Therefore the heart
<03820>

of the king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>

was sore troubled
<05590> (8735)

for this thing
<01697>_;

and he called
<07121> (8799)

his servants
<05650>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Will ye not shew
<05046> (8686)

me which of us [is] for the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_?

6:12

And one
<0259>

of his servants
<05650>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

None, my lord
<0113>_,

O king
<04428>_:

but Elisha
<0477>_,

the prophet
<05030>

that [is] in Israel
<03478>_,

telleth
<05046> (8686)

the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

the words
<01697>

that thou speakest
<01696> (8762)

in thy bedchamber
<02315> <04904>_.

{None: Heb. No}

6:13

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

and spy
<07200> (8798)

where
<0351>

he [is], that I may send
<07971> (8799)

and fetch
<03947> (8799)

him. And it was told
<05046> (8714)

him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, [he is] in Dothan
<01886>_.

6:14

Therefore sent
<07971> (8799)

he thither horses
<05483>_,

and chariots
<07393>_,

and a great
<03515>

host
<02428>_:

and they came
<0935> (8799)

by night
<03915>_,

and compassed
<05362> (0)

the city
<05892>

about
<05362> (8686)_.

{great: Heb. heavy}

6:15

And when the servant
<08334> (8764)

of the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

was risen
<06965> (8800)

early
<07925> (8686)_,

and gone forth
<03318> (8799)_,

behold, an host
<02428>

compassed
<05437> (8802)

the city
<05892>

both with horses
<05483>

and chariots
<07393>_.

And his servant
<05288>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Alas
<0162>_,

my master
<0113>_!

how shall we do
<06213> (8799)_?

{the servant: or, the minister}

6:16

And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

Fear
<03372> (8799)

not: for they that [be] with us [are] more
<07227>

than they that [be] with them.

6:17

And Elisha
<0477>

prayed
<06419> (8691)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

LORD
<03068>_,

I pray thee, open
<06491> (8798)

his eyes
<05869>_,

that he may see
<07200> (8799)_.

And the LORD
<03068>

opened
<06491> (8799)

the eyes
<05869>

of the young man
<05288>_;

and he saw
<07200> (8799)_:

and, behold, the mountain
<02022>

[was] full
<04390> (8804)

of horses
<05483>

and chariots
<07393>

of fire
<0784>

round about
<05439>

Elisha
<0477>_.

6:18

And when they came down
<03381> (8799)

to him, Elisha
<0477>

prayed
<06419> (8691)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Smite
<05221> (8685)

this people
<01471>_,

I pray thee, with blindness
<05575>_.

And he smote
<05221> (8686)

them with blindness
<05575>

according to the word
<01697>

of Elisha
<0477>_.

6:19

And Elisha
<0477>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, This [is] not the way
<01870>_,

neither [is] this
<02090>

the city
<05892>_:

follow
<03212> (8798) <0310>

me, and I will bring
<03212> (8686)

you to the man
<0376>

whom ye seek
<01245> (8762)_.

But he led
<03212> (8686)

them to Samaria
<08111>_.

{follow...: Heb. come ye after me}

6:20

And it came to pass, when they were come
<0935> (8800)

into Samaria
<08111>_,

that Elisha
<0477>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

LORD
<03068>_,

open
<06491> (8798)

the eyes
<05869>

of these [men], that they may see
<07200> (8799)_.

And the LORD
<03068>

opened
<06491> (8799)

their eyes
<05869>_,

and they saw
<07200> (8799)_;

and, behold, [they were] in the midst
<08432>

of Samaria
<08111>_.

6:21

And the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Elisha
<0477>_,

when he saw
<07200> (8800)

them, My father
<01>_,

shall I smite
<05221> (8686)

[them]? shall I smite
<05221> (8686)

[them]?

6:22

And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

Thou shalt not smite
<05221> (8686)

[them]: wouldest thou smite
<05221> (8688)

those whom thou hast taken captive
<07617> (8804)

with thy sword
<02719>

and with thy bow
<07198>_?

set
<07760> (8798)

bread
<03899>

and water
<04325>

before
<06440>

them, that they may eat
<0398> (8799)

and drink
<08354> (8799)_,

and go
<03212> (8799)

to their master
<0113>_.

6:23

And he prepared
<03739> (8799)

great
<01419>

provision
<03740>

for them: and when they had eaten
<0398> (8799)

and drunk
<08354> (8799)_,

he sent them away
<07971> (8762)_,

and they went
<03212> (8799)

to their master
<0113>_.

So the bands
<01416>

of Syria
<0758>

came
<0935> (8800)

no more
<03254> (8804)

into the land
<0776>

of Israel
<03478>_.
