Insight (Week 4) - When the Battle Comes to You (2 Kings 6:8-23)

2 Kings 6:8-17 (NIV) 8 Now the king of Aram was at war with Israel. After
conferring with his officers, he said, "I will set up my camp in such and such a
place." 9 The man of God sent word to the king of Israel: "Beware of passing
that place, because the Arameans are going down there." 10 So the king of
Israel checked on the place indicated by the man of God. Time and again
Elisha warned the king, so that he was on his guard in such places. 11 This
enraged the king of Aram. He summoned his officers and demanded of them,
"Will you not tell me which of us is on the side of the king of Israel?" 12 "None of
us, my lord the king," said one of his officers, "but Elisha, the prophet who is in
Israel, tells the king of Israel the very words you speak in your bedroom." 13
"Go, find out where he is," the king ordered, "so I can send men and capture
him." The report came back: "He is in Dothan." 14 Then he sent horses and
chariots and a strong force there. They went by night and surrounded the city.
15 When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next
morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. "Oh, my
lord, what shall we do?" the servant asked. 16 "Don't be afraid," the prophet
answered. "Those who are with us are more than those who are with them." 17
And Elisha prayed, "O LORD, open his eyes so he may see." Then the LORD
opened the servant's eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and
chariots of fire all around Elisha.
