16 But he responded: 'Do not be afraid. For there are more with us than with them.'
17 And when Elisha had prayed, he said, 'O Lord, open the eyes of this one, so that he may see.' And the Lord opened the eyes of the servant, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire, all around Elisha.
18 Then truly, the enemies descended to him. But Elisha prayed to the Lord, saying: 'Strike, I beg you, this people with blindness.' And the Lord struck them, so that they would not see, in accord with the word of Elisha.
19 Then Elisha said to them: 'This is not the way, and this is not the city. Follow me, and I will reveal to you the man whom you are seeking.' Then he led them into Samaria.
20 And when they had entered into Samaria, Elisha said, 'O Lord, open the eyes of these ones, so that they may see.' And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw themselves to be in the midst of Samaria.
