00:00.000 --> 00:06.400
Chapter 6 And the sons of the prophets
said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place

00:06.400 --> 00:08.360
where we dwell with thee is too straight
for us.

00:08.980 --> 00:13.120
Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan,
and take thence every man a beam,

00:13.260 --> 00:15.920
and let us make us a place there where we
may dwell.

00:16.220 --> 00:17.700
And he answered, Go ye.

00:18.040 --> 00:21.460
And one said, Be content, I pray thee,
and go with thy servants.

00:21.780 --> 00:23.320
And he answered, I will go.

00:23.540 --> 00:24.500
So he went with them.

00:24.980 --> 00:27.140
And when they came to Jordan, they cut
down wood.

00:27.600 --> 00:31.440
But as one was felling a beam,
the axe head fell into the water.

00:31.860 --> 00:35.340
And he cried and said, Alas, master,
for it was borrowed.

00:35.640 --> 00:37.640
And the man of God said, Where fell it?

00:37.960 --> 00:39.080
And he showed him the place.

00:39.560 --> 00:43.140
And he cut down a stick and cast it in
thither, and the iron did swim.

00:43.680 --> 00:45.820
Therefore said he, Take it up to thee.

00:46.040 --> 00:47.620
And he put out his hand and took it.

00:48.500 --> 00:52.420
Then the king of Syria warred against
Israel, and took counsel with his

00:52.420 --> 00:56.160
servants, saying, In such and such a place
shall be my camp.

00:56.160 --> 01:00.540
And the man of God sent unto the king of
Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not

01:00.540 --> 01:04.120
such a place, for thither the Syrians are
come down.

01:04.440 --> 01:07.860
And the king of Israel sent to the place
which the man of God told him and warned

01:07.860 --> 01:11.800
him of, and saved himself there,
not once nor twice.

01:12.820 --> 01:16.300
Therefore the heart of the king of Syria
was sore troubled for this thing.

01:17.300 --> 01:21.500
And he called his servants and said unto
them, Will ye not show me which of us is

01:21.500 --> 01:22.560
for the king of Israel?

01:22.880 --> 01:25.540
And one of his servants said, None,
my lord, or king.

01:25.900 --> 01:30.240
But Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel,
telleth the king of Israel the words that

01:30.240 --> 01:31.780
thou speakest in thy bedchamber.

01:32.020 --> 01:36.780
And he said, Go, and spy where he is,
that I may send and fetch him.

01:37.140 --> 01:40.300
And it was told him, saying, Behold,
he is in Dothan.

01:40.840 --> 01:43.940
Therefore sent he thither horses and
chariots and a great host.

01:44.480 --> 01:47.220
And they came by night, and compassed the
city about.

01:47.600 --> 01:51.840
And when the servant of the man of God was
risen early and gone forth, Behold,

01:52.100 --> 01:55.520
an host compassed the city, both with
horses and chariots.

01:55.680 --> 01:59.640
And his servant said unto him,
Alas, my master, how shall we do?

02:00.020 --> 02:04.920
And he answered, Fear not, for they that
be with us are more than they that be with

02:04.920 --> 02:05.220
them.

02:05.520 --> 02:11.760
And Elisha prayed and said, Lord,
I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may

02:11.760 --> 02:12.080
see.

02:12.380 --> 02:15.240
And the lord opened the eyes of the young
man, and he saw.

02:16.020 --> 02:20.600
And behold, the mountain was full of
horses and chariots of fire round about

02:20.600 --> 02:21.060
Elisha.

02:21.580 --> 02:25.160
And when they came down to him,
Elisha prayed unto the lord and said,

02:25.460 --> 02:28.040
Smite this people, I pray thee,
with blindness.

02:28.340 --> 02:32.120
And he smote them with blindness,
according to the word of Elisha.

02:32.400 --> 02:37.140
And Elisha said unto them, This is not the
way, neither is this the city.

02:37.620 --> 02:41.000
Follow me, and I will bring you to the man
whom ye seek.

02:41.440 --> 02:42.580
But he led them to Samaria.

02:43.180 --> 02:46.860
And it came to pass, when they were come
into Samaria, that Elisha said,

02:46.860 --> 02:51.500
Lord, open the eyes of these men,
that they may see.

02:51.800 --> 02:53.780
And the lord opened their eyes,
and they saw.

02:54.300 --> 02:56.540
And behold, they were in the midst of
Samaria.

02:57.200 --> 03:02.260
And the king of Israel said unto Elisha,
when he saw them, My father, shall I smite

03:02.260 --> 03:02.540
them?

03:02.940 --> 03:04.300
Shall I smite them?

03:04.580 --> 03:06.700
And he answered, Thou shalt not smite
them.

03:07.640 --> 03:12.380
Wouldst thou smite those whom thou hast
taken captive with thy sword and with thy

03:12.380 --> 03:12.640
bow?

03:13.220 --> 03:18.740
Set bread and water before them,
that they may eat and drink, and go to

03:18.740 --> 03:19.240
their master.

03:19.480 --> 03:21.260
And he prepared great provision for them.

03:21.620 --> 03:25.140
And when they had eaten and drunk,
he sent them away, and they went to their

03:25.140 --> 03:25.480
master.

03:26.000 --> 03:29.100
So the bands of Syria came no more into
the land of Israel.

03:30.240 --> 03:34.620
And it came to pass after this,
that Ben-Hadad king of Syria gathered all

03:34.620 --> 03:37.340
his host, and went up and besieged
Samaria.

03:37.660 --> 03:39.680
And there was a great famine in Samaria.

03:40.240 --> 03:45.200
And behold, they besieged it, until an
ass's head was sold for fourscore pieces

03:45.200 --> 03:50.540
of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of
dove's dung for five pieces of silver.

03:51.220 --> 03:55.740
And as the king of Israel was passing by
upon the wall, there cried a woman unto

03:55.740 --> 03:58.000
him, saying, Help my lord, O king.

03:58.220 --> 04:03.620
And he said, If the lord do not help thee,
when shall I help thee, out of the barn

04:03.620 --> 04:06.000
floor, or out of the winepress?

04:06.080 --> 04:08.720
And the king said unto her, What aileth
thee?

04:08.720 --> 04:13.960
And she answered, This woman said unto me,
Give thy son, that we may eat him to-day,

04:14.080 --> 04:16.040
and we will eat my son to-morrow.

04:16.380 --> 04:18.740
So we boiled my son, and did eat him.

04:18.900 --> 04:23.280
And I said unto her on the next day,
Give thy son, that we may eat him,

04:23.500 --> 04:25.420
and she hath hid her son.

04:26.140 --> 04:30.460
And it came to pass, when the king heard
the words of the woman, that he rent his

04:30.460 --> 04:30.880
clothes.

04:31.460 --> 04:35.560
And he passed by upon the wall,
and the people looked, and behold,

04:36.020 --> 04:38.160
he had sackcloth within upon his flesh.

04:39.260 --> 04:45.400
Then he said, God do so and more also to
me, if the head of Elisha, the son of

04:45.400 --> 04:47.740
Shaphat, shall stand on him this day.

04:48.020 --> 04:51.120
But Elisha sat in his house, and the
elders sat with him.

04:51.320 --> 04:53.440
And the king sent a man from before him.

04:54.560 --> 04:58.980
But ere the messenger came to him,
he said to the elders, See ye how this son

04:58.980 --> 05:02.080
of a murderer hath sent to take away mine
head?

05:02.680 --> 05:07.720
Look, when the messenger cometh,
shut the door, and hold him fast at the

05:07.720 --> 05:07.980
door.

05:08.720 --> 05:11.460
Is not the sound of his master's feet
behind him?

05:12.060 --> 05:16.240
And while he yet talked with them,
behold, the messenger came down unto him,

05:16.480 --> 05:19.240
and he said, Behold, this evil is of the
Lord.

05:19.940 --> 05:22.580
What should I wait for the Lord any
longer?
