Arameans Plot To Take Elisha

20 When they entered Samaria, Elisha said, “Lord, open these men’s eyes and let them see.” So the Lord opened their eyes. They looked and discovered they were in Samaria. 21 When the king of Israel saw them, he said to Elisha, “My father, should I kill them? I will kill them.” 22 Elisha replied, “Don’t kill them. Do you kill those you have captured with your sword or your bow? Set food and water in front of them so they can eat and drink and go to their master.”
