6 And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “Behold, please, the place where we are sitting there to your face is too narrow for us. 2 Please, let us go to the Jordan, and let us take from there, a man one beam, and let us make for ourselves there a place to sit there.” And he said, “Go.” 3 And the one said, “Please be willing and go with your servants.” And he said, “I, I will go.” 4 And he went with them. And they came to the Jordan, and they cut down trees. 5 And it happened, one was felling a beam, and the iron fell into the water. And he cried out and said, “Alas, my lord, for it was lent!” 6 And the man of God said, “Where did it fall?” And he showed him the place, and he cut off a stick, and he threw it to there, and the iron floated. 7 And he said, “Lift it up for yourself.” And he stretched out his hand and took it.

8 Now the king of Aram was fighting with Israel. And he consulted with his servants, saying, “At such and such a place my camp shall be.” 9 And the man of God sent to the king of Israel saying, “Guard yourself from passing by that place, for Aram is coming down there.” 10 And the king of Israel sent to the place that the man of God had said to him and warned him, and he guarded himself there, not once and not twice. 11 And the heart of the king of Aram was enraged about this matter. And he called to his servants, and he said to them, “Will you not declare to me who from us is for the king of Israel?” 12 And one from his servants said, “No, my lord the king, but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, declares to the king of Israel the things that you speak in the room of your bed.” 13 And he said, “Go and see where he is, and I will send, and I will take him.” And it was declared to him, saying, “Behold, in Dothan.”

14 And he sent horses and chariotry and a heavy army to there, and they came at night, and they surrounded around the city. 15 And the servant of the man of God arose early to arise, and he went out, and behold, an army surrounding the city, and horse and chariot. And his servant said to him, “Alas, my lord! What shall we do?” 16 And he said, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more numerous than those who are with them.” 17 And Elisha prayed and said, “Yahweh, please open his eyes, that he may see.” And Yahweh opened the eyes of the servant, and he saw, and behold, the hill was full of horses and chariotry of fire around Elisha. 18 And they came down to him, and Elisha prayed to Yahweh and said, “Please strike this nation with blindness.” And he struck them with blindness, according to the word of Elisha. 19 And Elisha said to them, “This is not the way, and this is not the city. Go after me, and let me lead you to the man whom you seek.” And he led them to Samaria.

20 And it happened when they entered Samaria that Elisha said, “Yahweh, open the eyes of these, that they may see.” And Yahweh opened their eyes, and they saw, and behold, they were in the midst of Samaria. 21 And the king of Israel said to Elisha when he saw them, “Shall I strike them? Shall I strike them, my father?” 22 And he said, “Do not strike them. Are you striking those whom you capture with your sword and with your bow? Put bread and water to their faces that they may eat and drink, and let them go to their master.” 23 And he provided a great provision for them, and they ate and they drank, and he sent them, and they went to their master. And the raiding bands of Aram did not continue any longer to come into the land of Israel.

24 And it happened after this that Ben Hadad, the king of Aram, gathered all of his camp, and he went up and besieged against Samaria. 25 And a great famine was in Samaria, and behold, they were besieging against it, until the head of a donkey was at 80 silver, and a fourth of a kab of dung of doves was at 5 silver. 26 And it happened, the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, and a woman cried out to him, saying, “Save, my lord the king!” 27 And he said, “No, let Yahweh save you. From where will I save you? From the threshing floor or from the winepress?” 28 And the king said to her, “What to you?” And she said, “This woman said to me, ‘Give your son, and we will eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’ 29 So we boiled my son, and we ate him. And I said to her on the next day, ‘Give your son, and we will eat him.’ But she hid her son.” 30 And it happened when the king heard the words of the woman that he tore his clothes. And he was passing by on the wall, and the people saw, and behold, sackcloth was on his flesh, from beneath. 31 And he said, “Thus may God do to me, and thus may he add, if the head of Elisha, the son of Shaphat, remains on him today.”

32 And Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. And he sent a man from his face. Before the messenger came to him, then he, he said to the elders, “Do you see that this son of a murderer has sent to remove my head? See, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and you shall press him with the door. Is the sound of the feet of his master not behind him?” 33 He was still speaking with them, and behold, the messenger was coming down to him. And he said, “Behold, this calamity is from Yahweh. Why should I wait for Yahweh any longer?”
