2 Kings 6:22 in Context — 2 Kings 6
20 E assim que chegaram a Samaria, disse Eliseu: SENHOR, abre os olhos destes, para que vejam. E o SENHOR abriu seus olhos, e olharam, e acharam-se em meio de Samaria.
21 E quando o rei de Israel os havia visto, disse a Eliseu: Eu os ferirei, pai meu?
22 E ele lhe respondeu: Não os firas; feririas tu aos que tomaste cativos com tua espada e com teu arco? Põe diante deles pão e água, para que comam e bebam, e se voltem a seus senhores.
23 Então lhes foi preparada grande comida: e quando houveram comido e bebido, enviou-os, e eles se voltaram a seu senhor. E nunca mais tropas da Síria vieram à terra de Israel.
24 Depois disto aconteceu, que Ben-Hadade rei da Síria juntou todo seu exército, e subiu, e pôs cerco a Samaria.
