2 Kings 6:16 In-Context

14 So the king sent horses and chariots there with a strong army. They came at night and surrounded the city.
15 Elisha's servant got up early and went out. He saw an army with horses and chariots surrounding the city. His servant said to Elisha, "Oh, no! Master, what will we do?"
16 "Don't be afraid," Elisha said, "because there are more of us than there are of them."
17 Then Elisha prayed, "LORD, please open his eyes that he may see." Then the LORD opened the servant's eyes, and he saw that the mountain was full of horses and fiery chariots surrounding Elisha.
18 The Arameans came toward him, so Elisha prayed to the LORD, "Strike this nation with blindness." And the LORD struck them blind, just as Elisha asked.
