2 Kings 6:8-10

Contemporary English Version

Elisha Stops an Invasion of the Syrian Army

⁸ Time after time, when the king of Syria was at war against the Israelites, he met with his officers and announced, “I've decided where we will set up camp.”

⁹ Each time, Elisha^[a] would send this warning to the king of Israel: “Don't go near there. That's where the Syrian troops have set up camp.”^{[b] 10} So the king would warn the Israelite troops in that place to be on guard.
