12. "You are my king and master," said one of his officers. "None of us is on Israel's side. But Elisha is a prophet in Israel. He tells the king of Israel the very words you speak in your own bedroom."
13. "Go and find out where he is," the king ordered. "Then I can send my men and capture him." The report came back. It said, "He's in Dothan."
14. Then the king sent horses and chariots and a strong army there. They went at night and surrounded the city.
15. The servant of the man of God got up the next morning. He went out early. He saw that an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. "My master!" the servant said. "What can we do?"
16. "Don't be afraid," the prophet answered. "Those who are with us are more than those who are with them."
