8Now the king of Syria was warring against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.
9The man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, Beware that you not pass such a place; for there the Syrians are coming down.
10The king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of; and he saved himself there, not once nor twice.
11The heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said to them, Won`t you show me which of us is for the king of Israel?
12One of his servants said, No, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedchamber.
13He said, Go and see where he is, that I may send and get him. It was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
14Therefore sent he there horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and surrounded the city.
