2Kings 6:1 - Prayer Tents

6And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us.H1121H5030H559H6440H477H4725H3427H6862 2Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye.H3212H3383H3947H376H259H6982H6213H4725H3427H559H3212 3And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go.H259H559H2974H3212H5650H559H3212 4So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood.H3212H935H3383H1504H6086 5But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed.H259H5307H6982H1270H5307H4325H6817H559H162H113H7592 6And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim.H376H430H559H575H5307H7200H4725H7094H6086H7993H1270H6687 7Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it.H559H7311H7971H3027H3947 8Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.H4428H758H3898H3478H3289H5650H559H6423H492H4725H8466 9And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down.H376H430H7971H4428H3478H559H8104H5674H2088H4725H758H5185 10And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice.H4428H3478H7971H4725H376H430H559H2094H8104H259H8147 11Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel?H3820H4428H758H5590H1697H7121H5650H559H5046H4428H3478 12And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.H259H5650H559H113H4428H477H5030H3478H5046H4428H3478H1697H1696H2315H4904 13And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.H559H3212H7200H351H7971H3947H5046H559H1886 14Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about.H7971H5483H7393H3515H2428H935H3915H5362H5892H5362 15And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?H8334H376H430H6965H7925H3318H2428H5437H5892H5483H7393H5288H559H162H113H6213 16And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.H559H3372H7227 17And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.H477H6419H559H3068H6491H5869H7200H3068H6491H5869H5288H7200H2022H4390H5483H7393H784H5439H477 18And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.H3381H477H6419H3068H559H5221H1471H5575H5221H5575H1697H477 19And Elisha said unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. But he led them to Samaria.H477H559H1870H2090H5892H3212H310H3212H376H1245H3212H8111 20And it came to pass, 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, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.H935H8111H477H559H3068H6491H5869H7200H3068H6491H5869H7200H8432H8111 21And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them? shall I smite them?H4428H3478H559H477H7200H1H5221H5221 22And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them: wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.H559H5221H5221H7617H2719H7198H7760H3899H4325H6440H398H8354H3212H113 23And he prepared great provision for them: and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.H3739H1419H3740H398H8354H7971H3212H113H1416H758H935H3254H776H3478 24And it came to pass after this, that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria.H310H1130H4428H758H6908H4264H5927H6696H8111 25And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.H1419H7458H8111H6696H2543H7218H8084H3701H7255H6894H1686H3123H2755H2568H3701 26And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.H4428H3478H5674H2346H6817H802H559H3467H113H4428 27And he said, If the LORD do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress?H559H3068H3467H370H3467H1637H3342 28And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.H4428H559H559H802H559H5414H1121H398H3117H398H1121H4279 29So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.H1310H1121H398H559H312H3117H5414H1121H398H2244H1121 30And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes; and he passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh.H4428H8085H1697H802H7167H899H5674H2346H5971H7200H8242H1004H1320 31Then he said, God do so and more also to me, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.H559H430H6213H3254H7218H477H1121H8202H5975H3117 32But Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him; and the king sent a man from before him: but ere the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away mine head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door: is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?H477H3427H1004H2205H3427H7971H376H6440H4397H935H559H2205H7200H1121H7523H7971H5493H7218H7200H4397H935H5462H1817H3905H1817H6963H113H7272H310 33And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messenger came down unto him: and he said, Behold, this evil is of the LORD; what should I wait for the LORD any longer?H1696H4397H3381H559H7451H3068H3176H3068
