11
Now the heart of the king of Aram was enraged over this thing; and he called his servants and said to them, "Will you tell me which of us is for the king of Israel?"
12
One of his servants said, "No, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom."
13
So he said, "Go and see where he is, that I may send and take him." And it was told him, saying, "Behold, he is in aDothan."

16
So he answered, "aDo not fear, for bthose who are with us are more than those who are with them."
17

21
Then the king of Israel when he saw them, said to Elisha, "aMy father, shall I kill them? Shall I kill them?"
22
He answered, "You shall not kill them. Would you akill those you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? bSet bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink and go to their master."

As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall a woman cried out to him, saying, "Help, my lord, O king!"
27
He said, "If the Lord does not help you, from where shall I help you? From the threshing floor, or from the wine press?"
28
And the king said to her, "aWhat is the matter with you?" And she answered, "This woman said to me, 'Give your son that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.'
29
"aSo we boiled my son and ate him; and I said to her on the next day, 'Give your son, that we may eat him'; but she has hidden her son."
30
When the king heard the words of the woman, ahe tore his clothes--now he was passing by on the wall--and the people looked, and behold, he had sackcloth beneath on his body.
31
Then he said, "May aGod do so to me and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat remains on him today."
32
Now Elisha was sitting in his house, and athe elders were sitting with him. And the king sent a man from his presence; but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, "Do you bsee how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door and hold the door shut against him. Is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?"
33
While he was still talking with them, behold, the messenger came down to him and he said, "aBehold, this evil is from the Lord; why should I wait for the Lord any longer?"
