2 Kings 6:21-23

The Message

²¹ When the king of Israel saw them, he said to Elisha, “Father, shall I massacre the lot?”

²² “Not on your life!” said Elisha. “You didn’t lift a hand to capture them, and now you’re going to kill them? No sir, make a feast for them and send them back to their master.”

²³ So he prepared a huge feast for them. After they ate and drank their fill he dismissed them. Then they returned home to their master. The raiding bands of Aram didn’t bother Israel anymore.
