15. When the servant of the man of God got up early the next morning and went outside, there were troops, horses, and chariots everywhere. “Oh, sir, what will we do now?” the young man cried to Elisha.
16. “Don’t be afraid!” Elisha told him. “For there are more on our side than on theirs!”
17. Then Elisha prayed, “O lord, open his eyes and let him see!” The lord opened the young man’s eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire.
18. As the Aramean army advanced toward him, Elisha prayed, “O lord, please make them blind.” So the lord struck them with blindness as Elisha had asked.
19. Then Elisha went out and told them, “You have come the wrong way! This isn’t the right city! Follow me, and I will take you to the man you are looking for.” And he led them to the city of Samaria.
