Chapter 6
And
the
sonnes
of
the
Prophets
saide
vnto
Elisha,
Beholde
now,
the
place
where
wee
dwell
with
thee,
is
too
strait
for
vs:
2
Let
vs
goe,
wee
pray
thee,
vnto
Iordane,
and
take
thence
euery
man
a
beame,
and
let
vs
make
vs
a
place
there
where
we
may
dwell.
And
hee
answered,
Goe
ye.
3
And
one
said,
Be
content,
I
pray
thee,
and
goe
with
thy
seruants.
And
he
answered,
I
will
goe.
4
So
hee
went
with
them:
and
when
they
came
to
Iordane,
they
cut
downe
wood.
5
But
as
one
was
felling
a
beame,
the
axe
head
fell
into
the
water:
and
hee
cryed,
and
sayd,
Alas
master,
for
it
was
borrowed.
6
And
the
man
of
God
said,
Where
fell
it?
and
hee
shewed
him
the
place:
and
he
cut
downe
a
sticke,
and
cast
it
in
thither,
and
the
yron
did
swimme.
7
Therefore
said
he,
Take
it
vp
to
thee:
And
hee
put
out
his
hand,
and
tooke
it.
8
Then
the
king
of
Syria
warred
against
Israel,
and
tooke
counsell
with
his
seruants,
saying,
In
such
and
such
a
place
shall
be
my
campe.
9
And
the
man
of
God
sent
vnto
the
king
of
Israel,
saying,
Beware
that
thou
passe
not
such
a
place;
for
thither
the
Syrians
are
come
downe.
10
And
the
king
of
Israel
sent
to
the
place
which
the
man
of
God
tolde
him,
and
warned
him
of,
and
saued
himselfe
there,
not
once
nor
twise.
11
Therefore
the
heart
of
the
king
of
Syria
was
sore
troubled
for
this
thing,
and
he
called
his
seruants,
and
said
vnto
them,
Will
ye
not
shewe
me
which
of
vs
is
for
the
king
of
Israel?
12
And
one
of
his
seruants
sayde,
None,
my
lord
O
king;
but
Elisha
the
Prophet,
that
is
in
Israel,
telleth
the
king
of
Israel,
the
wordes
that
thou
speakest
in
thy
bed-chamber.
13
And
he
said,
Goe
and
spie
where
he
is,
that
I
may
send
and
fetch
him.
And
it
was
tolde
him,
saying,
Behold,
he
is
in
Dothan.
14
Therefore
sent
he
thither
horses,
and
charets,
and
a
great
hoste:
and
they
came
by
night,
and
compassed
the
citie
about.
15
And
when
the
seruant
of
the
man
of
God
was
risen
early
and
gone
forth,
behold,
an
host
compassed
the
citie,
both
with
horses
and
charets:
and
his
seruant
said
vnto
him,
Alas
my
master,
how
shall
we
doe?
16
And
he
answered,
Feare
not:
for
they
that
be
with
vs,
are
moe
then
they
that
be
with
them.
17
And
Elisha
prayed,
and
sayde,
Lord,
I
pray
thee,
open
his
eyes
that
he
may
see.
And
the
Lord
opened
the
eyes
of
the
young
man,
and
hee
saw:
and
behold,
the
mountaine
was
full
of
horses,
and
charets
of
fire
round
about
Elisha.
18
And
when
they
came
downe
to
him,
Elisha
prayed
vnto
the
Lord,
and
said,
Smite
this
people,
I
pray
thee,
with
blindnesse.
And
hee
smote
them
with
blindnesse,
according
to
the
word
of
Elisha.
19
And
Elisha
saide
vnto
them,
This
is
not
the
way,
neither
is
this
the
citie:
follow
me,
and
I
will
bring
you
to
the
man
whom
ye
seeke.
But
hee
led
them
to
Samaria.
20
And
it
came
to
passe
when
they
were
come
into
Samaria,
that
Elisha
said,
Lord,
open
the
eyes
of
these
men,
that
they
may
see.
And
the
Lord
opened
their
eyes,
and
they
saw,
and
beholde,
they
were
in
the
mids
of
Samaria.
21
And
the
king
of
Israel
saide
vnto
Elisha,
when
he
saw
them,
My
father,
shall
I
smite
them?
shall
I
smite
them?
22
And
he
answered,
Thou
shalt
not
smite
them:
wouldest
thou
smite
those
whom
thou
hast
taken
captiue
with
thy
sword,
and
with
thy
bow?
set
bread
and
water
before
them,
that
they
may
eate,
and
drinke,
and
go
to
their
master.
23
And
hee
prepared
great
prouision
for
them,
and
when
they
had
eaten
and
drunke,
hee
sent
them
away,
and
they
went
to
their
master:
so
the
bands
of
Syria
came
no
more
into
the
lande
of
Israel.
24
And
it
came
to
passe
after
this,
that
Benhadad
king
of
Syria
gathered
all
his
hoste,
and
went
vp,
and
besieged
Samaria.
25
And
there
was
a
great
famine
in
Samaria:
and
behold,
they
besieged
it,
vntill
an
asses
head
was
solde
for
fourescore
pieces
of
siluer,
and
the
fourth
part
of
a
kab
of
doues
doung
for
fiue
pieces
of
siluer.
26
And
as
the
king
of
Israel
was
passing
by
vpon
the
wall,
there
cried
a
woman
vnto
him,
saying,
Helpe,
my
lord,
O
king.
27
And
he
said,
If
the
Lord
do
not
helpe
thee,
whence
shall
I
helpe
thee?
out
of
the
barne
floore,
or
out
of
the
wine
presse?
28
And
the
king
said
vnto
her,
What
aileth
thee?
And
shee
answered,
This
woman
said
vnto
me,
Giue
thy
sonne,
that
we
may
eate
him
to
day,
and
wee
will
eate
my
sonne
to
morrow.
29
So
we
boyled
my
sonne,
and
did
eate
him:
and
I
saide
vnto
her
on
the
next
day,
Giue
thy
sonne,
that
we
may
eate
him:
and
she
hath
hid
her
sonne.
30
And
it
came
to
passe
when
the
king
heard
the
words
of
the
woman,
that
he
rent
his
clothes,
and
hee
passed
by
vpon
the
wall,
and
the
people
looked,
and
behold,
hee
had
sackcloth
within,
vpon
his
flesh.
31
Then
he
said,
God
doe
so,
and
more
also
to
mee,
if
the
head
of
Elisha
the
sonne
of
Shaphat,
shall
stand
on
him
this
day.
32
But
Elisha
sate
in
his
house
(and
the
elders
sate
with
him)
and
the
king
sent
a
man
from
before
him:
but
yer
the
messenger
came
to
him,
hee
said
to
the
Elders,
See
yee
how
this
sonne
of
a
murderer
hath
sent
to
take
away
mine
head?
Looke
when
the
messenger
commeth,
shut
the
doore,
and
hold
him
fast
at
the
doore:
Is
not
the
sound
of
his
masters
feete
behind
him?
33
And
while
hee
yet
talked
with
them,
beholde,
the
messenger
came
downe
vnto
him:
and
he
said,
Behold,
this
euill
is
of
the
Lord,
what
should
I
waite
for
the
Lord
any
longer?
