2 Kings 6:20 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 6:20

And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that
Elisha said, Lord, open the eyes of these men, that they may see
So as to know where they were:

and the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw, and, behold, they were in
the midst of Samaria;
the gates being thrown open for them, and they led into the very heart of the city; for, no doubt, Elisha sent his servant before, to acquaint the king of Israel with what he was doing; who got a sufficient number of armed men to enclose them, and fall upon them, when put into his hands, as appears by what follows.

2 Kings 6:20 In-Context

18 Aram's army came down toward Elisha. Then he prayed to the Lord. He said, "Make these soldiers blind." So the LORD made them blind, just as Elisha had prayed.

19 Elisha told them, "This isn't the right road. This isn't the right city. Follow me. I'll lead you to the man you are looking for." He led them to Samaria.

20 They entered the city. Then Elisha said, "Lord, open the eyes of these men. Help them see again." Then the LORD opened their eyes. They looked around. And there they were, inside Samaria!

21 The king of Israel saw them. So he asked Elisha, "Should I kill them? I need your advice. You are like a father to me. Should I kill them?"

22 "Don't kill them," he answered. "Would you kill men you have captured with your own sword or bow? Put some food and water in front of them. Then they can eat and drink. They can go back to their master."
