1And the sons of the prophets said unto Eli-sha [my God is salvation], Behold now, the place where we dwell with youⁱ is too small for us. 2Let us go, we pray youⁱ, unto Yarden [Descender], and take there every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go you^2f. 3And one said, Be content, I pray youⁱ, and go with yourⁱ servants. And he answered, I will go. 4So he went with them. And when they came to Yarden [Descender], they cut down wood. 5But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed. 6And the man of God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] said, Where fell it? And he showed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast [it] in there; and the iron did swim. 7Therefore said he, Take [it] up to youⁱ. And he put out his hand, and took it.

8Then the king of Aram (Syria) [exalted] warred against Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place [shall be] my camp. 9And the man of God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] sent unto the king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], saying, Beware that youⁱ pass not such a place; for there the Aram [Syrians] are come down. 10And the king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] sent to the place which the man of God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, more than once or twice.

11Therefore the heart of the king of Aram (Syria) [exalted] was greatly troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will you^2f not show me which of us [is] (a traitor) for the king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]? 12And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Eli-sha [my God is salvation], the prophet that [is] in Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], tells the king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] the words that youⁱ speak in yourⁱ bedchamber. 13And he said, Go and spy where he [is], that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, [he is] in Dotan [two wells]. 14Therefore sent he there horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and surrounded the city about.

15And when the servant of the man of God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, This is terrible, my master! what shall we do? 16And he answered, Fear not: for they that [be] with us [are] more than they that [be] with them. 17And Eli-sha [my God is salvation] prayed, and said, LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), I pray youⁱ, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain [was] full of horses and chariots of fire round about Eli-sha [my God is salvation]. 18And when they came down to him, Eli-sha [my God is salvation] prayed unto the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and said, Strike this people, I pray youⁱ, with blindness. And He struck them with blindness according to the word of Eli-sha [my God is salvation]. 19And Eli-sha [my God is salvation] said unto them, This [is] not the way, neither [is] this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you^2f seek. But he led them to Shomron [watch mountain].

20And it came to pass, when they were come into Shomron [watch mountain], that Eli-sha [my God is salvation] said, LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), open the eyes of these [men], that they may see. And the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, [they were] in the midst of Shomron [watch mountain]. 21And the king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] said unto Eli-sha [my God is salvation], when he saw them, My father, shall I strike [them]? shall I strike [them]? 22And he answered, youⁱ shall not strike [them]: would youⁱ strike those whom youⁱ have taken captive with yourⁱ sword and with yourⁱ bow? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master. 23And 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 Aram (Syria) [exalted] came no more into the land of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

24And it came to pass after this, that Ben-Hadad [son of the (false god) Hadad] king of Aram (Syria) [exalted] gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Shomron [watch mountain]. 25And there was a great famine in Shomron [watch mountain]: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was [sold] for eighty [pieces] of silver, and the fourth part of a half a pint of dove's dung for five [pieces] of silver. 26And as the king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king. 27And he said, If the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) do not help youⁱ, in from where shall I [find] help youⁱ? out of the barn floor, or out of the winepress? 28And the king said unto her, What ails youⁱ? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give yourⁱ son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son tomorrow. 29So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give yourⁱ son, that we may eat him: and she has hid her son. 30And 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 there upon his flesh. 31Then he said, God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] do so and more also to me, if the head of Eli-sha [my God is salvation] the son of Shafat [He Has Judged] shall stand on him this day.

32But Eli-sha [my God is salvation] sat in his house, and the elders sat with him; and [the king] sent a man from before him: but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, See you^2f how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? look, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door: [is] not the sound of his master's feet behind him? 33And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messenger came down unto him: and he said, Behold, this evil [is] of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); why should I wait for the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) any longer?
