2 Kings 6:13 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 6:13

And he said, go, and spy where he is, that I may send and
fetch him
But how could he expect to take him, who could give the king of Israel such intelligence of his designs against him, that he might escape his snares?

and it was told him, saying, behold, he is in Dothan;
a city in the tribe of Manasseh, not far from Shechem; see ( Genesis 37:17 ) .

2 Kings 6:13 In-Context

11 The mind of the king of Aram was greatly perturbed because of this; he called his officers and said to them, "Now tell me who among us sides with the king of Israel?"

12 Then one of his officers said, "No one, my lord king. It is Elisha, the prophet in Israel, who tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedchamber."

13 He said, "Go and find where he is; I will send and seize him." He was told, "He is in Dothan."

14 So he sent horses and chariots there and a great army; they came by night, and surrounded the city.

15 When an attendant of the man of God rose early in the morning and went out, an army with horses and chariots was all around the city. His servant said, "Alas, master! What shall we do?"
