Arameans Plot To Take Elisha

20 When they entered the city, Elisha prayed: Open their eyes and let them see. Jehovah answered his prayer. He restored their sight, and they saw that they were inside Samaria. 21 Then the king of Israel when he saw them, said to Elisha, “My father, shall I kill them? Shall I kill them?” 22 No, Elisha answered. Would you put to death soldiers you captured in combat? Give them something to eat and drink. Then let them return to their king.
