2 Kings 6:21-23

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²¹ And the king of Israel said to Eliseus, when he saw them: My father, shall I kill them?

²² And he said: Thou shalt not kill them: for thou didst not take them with thy sword, or thy bow, that thou mayst kill them: but set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.

²³ And a great provision of meats was set before them, and they ate and drank, and he let them go, and they went away to their master, and the robbers of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.
