2 Kings 6
6:1And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, Behold, indeed the place in which we live before you is scant for us.
6:2We should go indeed unto the Jordan, and we should take from there one beam per one man; and we should make for ourselves a shelter to live there. And he said, Go!
6:3And one said, Please come with your servants. And he said, I will go.
6:4And he went with them, and they came unto the Jordan, and they trimmed the wood.
6:5And it happened to one casting down the beam, that the iron implement fell off of the stick into the water. And he yelled, and said, O master. And it was hidden.
6:6And the man of God said, Where did it fall? And he showed to him the place. And he plucked off wood and tossed it there, and the iron implement floated.
6:7And he said, Raise it to yourself! And he stretched out his hand and took it.
6:8And the king of Syria was waging war against Israel. And he consulted with his servants, saying, In the place thus I will camp in a certain concealed place.
6:9And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, Guard to not go by this place, for there Syria hides.
6:10And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him. And he guarded from there not once nor twice.
6:11And the soul of the king of Syria was startled on account of this word. And he called his servants, and he said to them, Shall you not announce to me who betrays me to the king of Israel?
6:12And one of his servants said, Not so, O my master, O king. For Elisha the prophet, the one in Israel, he announces to the king of Israel all the words which ever you should speak in the closet of your bedroom.
6:13And he said, Go, and see where this one is! and sending I will take him. And they reported to him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
6:14And he sent horses and chariots, and a heavy force. And they came at night, and surrounded the city.
6:15And the minister of the man of God rose up early, and went forth. And behold, the force was encircling the city, and with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, O master, what shall we do?
6:16And Elisha said, Do not fear, for many are the ones with us over the ones with them.
6:17And Elisha prayed, and said, O lord, open his eyes, and let him see! And the lord opened wide the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses, and a chariot of fire surrounding Elisha.
6:18And they came down to him. And Elisha prayed to the lord, and said, Strike indeed this nation with inability to see! And he struck them with inability to see, according to the saying of Elisha.
6:19And Elisha said to them, This is not the city, and this is not the way. Come after me! and I will lead you to the man whom you seek. And he took them to Samaria.
6:20And it came to pass, as he entered into Samaria, that Elisha said, O lord, open the eyes of these, and let them see! And the lord opened wide their eyes, and they saw. And behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.
6:21And the king of Israel said to Elisha, as he beheld them, Shall by striking, I strike them, O father?
6:22And he said, You shall not strike. Whom you captured by your broadsword, and your bow you shall strike. Place bread loaves and water before them, and let them eat and let them drink and let them go forth to their master!
6:23And he placed for them a great fete. And they ate, and drank, and he sent them. And they went forth to their master. And the armed bands of Syrians did not proceed still to come into the land of Israel.
6:24And it came to pass after these things, that the son of Hadad king of Syria gathered all his camp, and ascended, and besieged against Samaria.
6:25And there was a great famine in Samaria. And behold, they laid siege against it until of which the head of a donkey was worth eighty shekels of silver; and a fourth of a cab of doves dung five shekels of silver.
6:26And the king of Israel was traveling upon the wall. And a woman yelled to him, saying, Deliver us, O master, O king!
6:27And he said to her, Unless the lord delivers you, from what place shall I deliver you -- from the threshing-floor or from the wine vat?
6:28And the king said to her, What is it with you? And she said, This woman said to me, Give your son! and we shall eat him today, and my son we shall eat tomorrow.
6:29And we boiled my son, and we ate him. And I said to her the other day, Give your son! for we should eat him. And she hid her son.
6:30And it came to pass as the king heard the words of the woman, he tore his garments, and he traveled over upon the wall. And the people saw the sackcloth upon his flesh inside.
6:31And he said, Thus God do to me, and thus add more, if the head of Elisha son of Shaphat shall stand upon him today.
6:32And Elisha was sitting down in his house, and the elders were sitting down with him. And the king sent a man before his face. But before the coming of the messenger to him, that Elisha himself said to the elders, Do you see that this son of a murderer sent to remove my head? Know as when the messenger should come, you lock the door, and press against him on the door! Is not the sound of the feet of his master right after him?
6:33While he was speaking with them, that behold, the messenger came to him. And he said, Behold, this evil is from the lord, why remain behind for the lord any longer?
