12. One of the officers of the king of Aram said, “No, my master and king. It’s Elisha, the prophet from Israel. He can tell you what you speak in your bedroom.”
13. The king said, “Go and find him. Then I can send men and catch him.”The servants came back and reported, “He is in Dothan.”
14. Then the king sent horses, chariots and a large army to Dothan. They arrived at night and surrounded the city.
15. The servant of Elisha got up early. When he went out, he saw an army with horses and chariots all around the city. The servant said to Elisha, “Oh, my master, what can we do?”
16. Elisha said, “Don’t be afraid. The army that fights for us is larger than the one against us.”
17. Then Elisha prayed, “Lord, open my servant’s eyes. Let him see.”The Lord opened the eyes of the young man. And he saw that the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
18. As the enemy came down toward Elisha, he prayed to the Lord. He said, “Make these people blind.” So the Lord made the Aramean army blind, as Elisha had asked.
19. Elisha said to them, “This is not the right road. This is not the right city. Follow me. I’ll take you to the man you are looking for.” Then Elisha led them to Samaria.
