12
One of his servantssaid, "No, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophetwho is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom*."
15
Now when the attendant of the man of God had risenearly and gone out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was circling the city. And his servantsaid to him, "Alas, my master! What shall we do?"
17
Then Elishaprayed and said, "O LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see." And the LORDopened the servant'seyes and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fireallaroundElisha.

When they camedown to him, Elishaprayed to the LORD and said, "Strikethispeople with blindness, I pray." So He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
19
Then Elishasaid to them, "This is not the way, nor is this the city; follow* me and I will bring you to the manwhom you seek." And he brought them to Samaria.
20
When they had come into Samaria, Elishasaid, "O LORD, open the eyes of these men, that they may see." So the LORDopened their eyes and they saw; and behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.

He answered, "You shall not kill them. Would you kill those you have takencaptive with your sword and with your bow? Setbread and waterbefore them, that they may eat and drink and go to their master."
