7. And he said: Take it up. And he put out his hand and took it.
8. And the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying: In such and such a place let us lay ambushes.
9. And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying: Beware that thou pass not to such a place: for the Syrians are there in ambush.
10. And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God had told him, and prevented him, and looked well to himself there not once nor twice.
11. And the heart of the king of Syria was troubled for this thing. And calling together his servants, he said: Why do you not tell me who it is that betrays me to the king of Israel?
12. And one of his servants said: No one, my lord O king: but Eliseus the prophet, that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel all the words, that thou speakest in thy privy chamber.
13. And he said to them: Go, and see where he is: that I may send, and take him. And they told him, saying: Behold he is in Dothan.
14. Therefore he sent thither horses and chariots, and the strength of an army: and they came by night, and beset the city.
