2 Kings 6:21-23

International Children’s Bible

²¹ The king of Israel saw the Aramean army. He said to Elisha, “My father, should I kill them? Should I kill them?”

²² Elisha answered, “Don’t kill them. You wouldn’t kill people whom you captured with your sword and bow. Give them food and water. And let them eat and drink. Then let them go home to their master.” ²³ So he prepared a great feast for the Aramean army. They ate and drank. Then the king sent them away. They went home to their master. The soldiers of Aram did not come anymore into the land of Israel.
