2 Kings 6:1-7

Listen to 2 Kings 6:1-7
1 dixerunt autem filii prophetarum ad Heliseum ecce locus in quo habitamus coram te angustus est nobis
2 eamus usque ad Iordanem et tollant singuli de silva materias singulas ut aedificemus nobis ibi locum ad habitandum qui dixit ite
3 et ait unus ex illis veni ergo et tu cum servis tuis respondit ego veniam
4 et abiit cum eis cumque venissent ad Iordanem caedebant ligna
5 accidit autem ut cum unus materiem succidisset caderet ferrum securis in aquam exclamavitque ille et ait eheu eheu eheu domine mi et hoc ipsum mutuo acceperam
6 dixit autem homo Dei ubi cecidit at ille monstravit ei locum praecidit ergo lignum et misit illuc natavitque ferrum
7 et ait tolle qui extendit manum et tulit illud

INTRODUCTION TO 2 KINGS 6

In this chapter are recorded other wonders of Elisha, as causing iron to swim, 2Ki 6:1-7 having knowledge of the secret counsels of the king of Syria, which he disclosed to the king of Israel, 2Ki 6:8-12 smiting the Syrian army with blindness sent to take him, and which he led into the midst of Samaria, 2Ki 6:13-23, and the chapter is closed with an account of the siege of Samaria, and a sore famine in it, 2Ki 6:24-33.
