For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they will no more be mentioned by their name. At that time I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the birds of the heavens, and with the creeping things of the ground. I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the land, and will make them lie down in safety. I will engage you to me for a very long time! Yes I will engage you to me in righteousness, and in justice, and in loving kindness, and in mercies. I will even engage you to me in faithfulness. Then you will know Jehovah. It will happen in that day. I will answer, said Jehovah, I will answer the heavens, and they will answer the earth! The earth will answer the grain, and the new wine, and the oil; and they will answer Jezreel. And I will sow her to me in the earth! I will have mercy (compassion) on her who had not obtained mercy. I will say to those who were not my people: 'You are my people!' They will answer: 'You are my God!'

The prophet Elisha tells the king of Israel what you say even in the privacy of your own bedroom. Locate him! the king ordered, and I will capture him. He was told: Elisha is in Dothan. He sent a large force there with horses and chariots. They surrounded the town at night. Early the next morning Elisha's servant got up and went out of the house. He saw the Syrian troops with their horses and chariots surrounding the town. He went to Elisha and said: Alas my master what shall we do? Do not be afraid, Elisha answered. We have more on our side than they have on theirs. Elisha prayed: O Jehovah, open his eyes that he may see. Jehovah answered his prayer. Elisha's servant looked up and saw the hillside covered with horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. The Syrians attacked! Elisha prayed, O Jehovah, strike these men blind! Jehovah answered his prayer and struck them blind. Elisha said to the Syrians: This is not the way or the town you are looking for. Follow me, and I will lead you to the man you are after. He led them to Samaria. 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. When the king of Israel saw the Syrians, he asked Elisha: Shall I kill them? 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. So the king of Israel provided a great feast for them. After they ate and drank he sent them back to the king of Syria. From then on the Syrians stopped raiding the land of Israel.
