12:006:019 And Elisha said unto them, This is not the way, neither is
           this the city:  follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom
           ye seek.  But he led them to Samaria.

12:006:020 And it came to pass, 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,
           behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.

12:006:021 And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, My
           father, shall I smite them? shall I smite them?

12:006:022 And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them:  wouldest thou
           smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and
           with thy bow? set bread and water before them, that they may
           eat and drink, and go to their master.

12:006:023 And he prepared great provision for them:  and when they had
           eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their
           master.  So the bands of Syria came no more into the land of
           Israel.

12:006:024 And it came to pass after this, that Benhadad king of Syria
           gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria.

12:006:025 And there was a great famine in Samaria:  and, behold, they
           besieged it, until an ass’s head was sold for fourscore pieces
           of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove’s dung for
           five pieces of silver.

12:006:026 And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there
           cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.

12:006:027 And he said, If the lord do not help thee, whence shall I help
           thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress?

12:006:028 And the king said unto her, What aileth thee?  And she
           answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may
           eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.

12:006:029 So we boiled my son, and did eat him:  and I said unto her on
           the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him:  and she hath
           hid her son.

12:006:030 And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the
           woman, that he rent his clothes; and he passed by upon the
           wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth
           within upon his flesh.

12:006:031 Then he said, God do so and more also to me, if the head of
           Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.

12:006:032 But Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him; and
           the king sent a man from before him:  but ere the messenger
           came to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of a
           murderer hath sent to take away mine head? look, when the
           messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold him fast at the
           door:  is not the sound of his master’s feet behind him?
