The Aramean Attack Is Thwarted

⁸ Once when the king of Aram was at war with Israel, he took counsel with his officers. He said, “At such and such a place shall be my camp.”

⁹ But the man of God sent word to the king of Israel, “Take care not to pass this place, for the Arameans are going down there.”^(A)

² Now the Arameans on one of their raids had taken a young girl captive from the land of Israel, and she served Naaman’s wife.
