6：20 他们进了撒马利亚，以利沙祷告说，耶和华阿，求你开这些人的眼目，使他们能看见。耶和华开他们的眼目，他们就看见了，不料，是在撒马利亚的城中。

　　And it came to pass， when they were come into Samaria， that Elisha said， LORD， open the eyes of these men， that they may see. And the LORD opened their eyes， and they saw； and， behold， they were in the midst of Samaria.

　　6：21 以色列王见了他们，就问以利沙说，我父阿，我可以击杀他们吗。

　　And the king of Israel said unto Elisha， when he saw them， My father， shall I smite them？ shall I smite them？

　　6：22 回答说，不可击杀他们。就是你用刀用弓掳来的，岂可击杀他们吗（或作也不可击杀，何况这些人呢）。当在他们面前设摆饮食，使他们吃喝回到他们的主人那里。

　　And he answered， Thou shalt not smite them： wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow？ set bread and water before them， that they may eat and drink， and go to their master.

　　6：23 王就为他们预备了许多食物。他们吃喝完了，打发他们回到他们主人那里。从此，亚兰军不再犯以色列境了。

　　And 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 Syria came no more into the land of Israel.

　　6：24 此后，亚兰王便哈达聚集他的全军，上来围困撒马利亚。

　　And it came to pass after this， that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his host， and went up， and besieged Samaria.

　　6：25 于是撒马利亚被围困，有饥荒，甚至一个驴头值银八十舍客勒，二升鸽子粪值银五舍客勒。

　　And there was a great famine in Samaria： and， behold， they besieged it， until an ass's head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver， and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.

　　6：26 一日，以色列王在城上经过，有一个妇人向他呼叫说，我主，我王阿。求你帮助。

　　And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall， there cried a woman unto him， saying， Help， my lord， O king.

　　6：27 王说，耶和华不帮助你，我从何处帮助你。是从禾场，是从酒？？呢。

　　And he said， If the LORD do not help thee， whence shall I help thee？ out of the barnfloor， or out of the winepress？

　　6：28 王问妇人说，你有什么苦处。她回答说，这妇人对我说，将你的儿子取来，我们今日可以吃，明日可以吃我的儿子。

　　And the king said unto her， What aileth thee？ And she answered， This woman said unto me， Give thy son， that we may eat him to day， and we will eat my son to morrow.

　　6：29 我们就煮了我的儿子吃了。次日我对她说，要将你的儿子取来，我们可以吃。她却将她的儿子藏起来了。

　　So we boiled my son， and did eat him： and I said unto her on the next day， Give thy son， that we may eat him： and she hath hid her son.

　　6：30 王听见妇人的话，就撕裂衣服。（王在城上经过）百姓看见王贴身穿着麻衣。

　　And 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 within upon his flesh.

　　6：31 王说，我今日若容沙法的儿子以利沙的头仍在他项上，愿神重重地降罚与我。

　　Then he said， God do so and more also to me， if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.

　　6：32 那时，以利沙正坐在家中，长老也与他同坐。王打发一个伺候他的人去。他还没有到，以利沙对长老说，你们看这凶手之子，打发人来斩我的头。你们看着使者来到，就关上门，用门将他推出去。在他后头不是有他主人脚步的响声吗？

　　But Elisha sat in his house， and the elders sat with him； and the king sent a man from before him： but ere the messenger came to him， he said to the elders， See ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away mine head？ look， when the messenger cometh， shut the door， and hold him fast at the door： is not the sound of his master's feet behind him？

　　6：33 正说话的时候，使者来到，王也到了，说，这灾祸是从耶和华那里来的，我何必再仰望耶和华呢。

　　And while he yet talked with them， behold， the messenger came down unto him： and he said， Behold， this evil is of the LORD； what should I wait for the LORD any longer？
