BRAGADAYJAH 1076

Elisha spared the host of Syria.

Fair not said Elisha, there are more for us than against us. Then Elisha prayed and said, “O Lord open his eyes that he may see;” and the Lord opened the eyes of the young man and he saw and behold the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha And when they came down to him Elisha prayed unto the Lord and said, “Smite the people I pray thee with blindness.” And the Lord smote them with blindness according to the prayer of Elisha. And Elisha said to them, this is not the way, neither is this the city. “Follow me and I will bring you to the man whom you seek.”  But he led them to Samaria; and it came to pass that when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha said, “Lord open the eyes of these men that they may see.” And the Lord opened their eyes and they saw and they were in the middle of Samaria. And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them. “My father, my father, shall I smite them?” And Elisha answered and said, “Thou shall not smite them.” “Will you smite those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with you bow? Set bread and water before them that they may eat and drink and go to their master.” And he prepared great provision for them and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away; and they went to their master the king of Syria and they came no more into the land of Israel.
