2 Kings 6:21-23

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²¹ When the king of Israel saw them, he said to Elisha, My father, shall I slay them? Shall I slay them?

²² [Elisha] answered, You shall not slay them. Would you slay those you have taken captive with your sword and bow? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink and return to their master.

²³ So [the king] prepared great provision for them, and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.
