A. THE SYRIANS' FEAR OF ELISHA

Now the king of Syria warred against Israel; and he took counsel with

his servants, saying, "In such and such a place shall be my camp."

And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, "Beware that

thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are coming down."

And the 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.

And the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and

he called his servants, and said unto them, "Will ye not show me which

of us is for the king of Israel?"

And one of his servants said, "Nay, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the

prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that

thou speakest in thy bedchamber."
