16. "Don’t be afraid," Elisha said, "because there are more of us than there are of them."
17. Then Elisha prayed, "Lord, please open his eyes that he may see." Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he saw that the mountain was full of horses and fiery chariots surrounding Elisha.
18. The Arameans came toward him, so Elisha prayed to the Lord, "Strike this nation with blindness." And the Lord struck them blind, just as Elisha asked.
19. Elisha said to them, "This isn’t the right road or the right city. Follow me, and I’ll lead you to the man you are looking for." But he took them to Samaria!
