2 Kings 6:22
New International Version
22 “Do not kill them,” he answered. “Would you kill those you have captured(A) with your own sword or bow? Set food and water before them so that they may eat and drink and then go back to their master.”
Proverbs 25:21-28
New American Standard Bible
21 (A)If [a]your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;
And if he is thirsty, give him water to drink;
22 For you will [b]heap burning coals on his head,
And (B)the Lord will reward you.
23 The north wind brings rain,
And a [c](C)gossiping tongue brings an angry face.
24 It is (D)better to live on a corner of the roof,
Than [d]in a house shared with a contentious woman.
25 Like cold water to a weary soul,
So is (E)good news from a distant land.
26 Like a (F)trampled spring and a [e]polluted well,
So is a righteous person who gives way before the wicked.
27 It is not good to eat much honey,
Nor is it glory to (G)search out [f]one’s own glory.
28 Like a (H)city that is broken into and without walls
So is a person (I)who has no self-control over his spirit.

Proverbs 25:21-28
New International Version
21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;
if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
22 In doing this, you will heap burning coals(A) on his head,
and the Lord will reward you.(B)
23 Like a north wind that brings unexpected rain
is a sly tongue—which provokes a horrified look.
24 Better to live on a corner of the roof
than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.(C)
25 Like cold water to a weary soul
is good news from a distant land.(D)
26 Like a muddied spring or a polluted well
are the righteous who give way to the wicked.
27 It is not good to eat too much honey,(E)
nor is it honorable to search out matters that are too deep.(F)
28 Like a city whose walls are broken through
is a person who lacks self-control.
