12:005:027 The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow. 12:006:001 And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us. 12:006:002 Let 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. 12:006:003 And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go. 12:006:004 So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood. 12:006:005 But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed. 12:006:006 And 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. 12:006:007 Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it. 12:006:008 Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp. 12:006:009 And 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. 12:006:010 And 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. 12:006:011 Therefore 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? 12:006:012 And 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. 12:006:013 And 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. 12:006:014 Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about. 12:006:015 And 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? 12:006:016 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. 12:006:017 And 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.
