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.
