006:007 He said, "Take it." So he put out his hand and took it. 006:008 Now the king of Syria was warring against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp. 006:009 The man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, Beware that you not pass such a place; for there the Syrians are coming down. 006:010 The king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of; and he saved himself there, not once nor twice. 006:011 The heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said to them, Won't you show me which of us is for the king of Israel? 006:012 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 bedchamber. 006:013 He said, Go and see where he is, that I may send and get him.
