9 And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware to not pass through such and such a place, for the Syrians are going there.
10 Then the king of Israel sent to the place, which the man of God told him and warned him of and kept himself from there, not once nor twice.
11 Therefore, the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled over this thing, and he called his slaves and said unto them, Will ye not show me which of us is for the king of Israel?
12 Then one of his slaves said, None, my lord, O king, but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.
13 And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and take him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
14 So he sent horsemen and chariots there and a great host, who came by night and compassed the city about.
15 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early to go forth, behold, a host compassed the city both with horsemen and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! What shall we do?
