11. The king of Aram was furious over all this. He called his officers together and said, “Tell me, who is leaking information to the king of Israel? Who is the spy in our ranks?”
12. But one of his men said, “No, my master, dear king. It’s not any of us. It’s Elisha the prophet in Israel. He tells the king of Israel everything you say, even what you whisper in your bedroom.”
13. The king said, “Go and find out where he is. I’ll send someone and capture him.”The report came back, “He’s in Dothan.”
14. Then he dispatched horses and chariots, an impressive fighting force. They came by night and surrounded the city.
15. Early in the morning a servant of the Holy Man got up and went out. Surprise! Horses and chariots surrounding the city! The young man exclaimed, “Oh, master! What shall we do?”
16. He said, “Don’t worry about it—there are more on our side than on their side.”
17. Then Elisha prayed, “O God, open his eyes and let him see.”The eyes of the young man were opened and he saw. A wonder! The whole mountainside full of horses and chariots of fire surrounding Elisha!
