2 Kings 6:21-23

International Standard Version

²¹ When the king of Israel saw Elisha, he asked him, “Shall I execute them, my father?”

²² But he replied, “No! You’re not to kill them! Would you execute those whom you’ve taken captive at the point of a sword or with your bow? Give them food and water so they can eat and drink. Then send them back to their master!” ²³ So he prepared a large festival for them, and when they had finished eating and drinking, he sent them back to their master, and marauding gangs of Arameans never came into the territory of Israel again.
