2 Kings 6:21-23

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²¹ When the king of Israel saw them he said to Elisha, “Father, shall I strike them? Shall I strike them?”^{(A) 22} He answered, “No! Would you strike those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? Set food and water before them so that they may eat and drink, and let them go to their master.”^{(B) 23} So he prepared for them a great feast; after they ate and drank, he sent them on their way, and they went to their master. And the Arameans no longer came raiding into the land of Israel.^(C)
