12:006:007 Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it.
12:006:008 Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel
with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be
my camp.
12:006:009 And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying,
Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the
Syrians are come down.
12:006:010 And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God
told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once
nor twice.
12:006:011 Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for
this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them,
Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel?
12:006:012 And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but
Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of
Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.
12:006:013 And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch
him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
12:006:014 Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great
host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about.
12:006:015 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
12:006:016 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
