New Testament

2 Kings 6:11-17 Amplified Bible (AMP)

11. Therefore the mind of the king of Syria was greatly troubled by this thing. He called his servants and said, Will you show me who of us is for the king of Israel?

12. One of his servants said, None, my lord O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedchamber.

13. He said, Go and see where he is, that I may send and seize him. And it was told him, He is in Dothan.

14. So [the Syrian king] sent there horses, chariots, and a great army. They came by night and surrounded the city.

15. When the servant of the man of God rose early and went out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was around the city. Elisha's servant said to him, Alas, my master! What shall we do?

16. [Elisha] answered, Fear not; for those with us are more than those with them.

17. Then Elisha prayed, Lord, I pray You, open his eyes that he may see. And the Lord opened the young man's eyes, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
