2 Kings 6:21-23

New American Standard Bible 1995

²¹ Then the king of Israel when he saw them, said to Elisha, “^(A)My father, shall I ^[a]kill them? Shall I ^[b]kill them?” ²² He ^[c]answered, “You shall not ^[d]kill them. Would you ^[e](B)kill those you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? ^(C)Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink and go to their master.” ²³ So he prepared a great feast for them; and when they had eaten and drunk he sent them away, and they went to their master. And ^(D)the marauding bands of Arameans did not come again into the land of Israel.
