God's Word Translation

2 Kings 6:20-23 God's Word Translation (GW)

20. When they came into Samaria, Elisha said, “Lord, open the eyes of these men, and let them see.” The Lord opened their eyes and let them see that they were in the middle of Samaria.

21. When the king of Israel saw them, he asked Elisha, “Master, should I kill them? Should I kill them?”

22. Elisha answered, “Don’t kill them. Do you kill everyone you take captive in combat? Give them food and water. Let them eat and drink. Then let them go back to their master.”

23. So the king prepared a great feast for them. They ate and drank, and then he sent them back to their master. After this, Aramean troops didn’t raid Israel’s territory anymore.
