2 Kings 6:12-19 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

12. And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.

13. And he said, Go and see where he is, and I will send and fetch him. And it was told him saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.

14. And he sent thither horses and chariots, and a great host, and they came by night and surrounded the city.

15. And when the attendant of the man of God rose early and went forth, behold, an army surrounded the city, with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?

16. And he said, Fear not, for they that are with us are more than they that are with them.

17. And Elisha prayed and said, Jehovah, I pray thee, open his eyes that he may see. And Jehovah opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw; and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

18. And they came down to him; and Elisha prayed to Jehovah and said, Smite this nation, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.

19. And Elisha said to them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. And he led them to Samaria.
