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.

And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them. My father, shall 1 smite them? Shall I smite them?

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.

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.

2 Kings 6:20-23

他们(指亚兰人)进了撒玛利亚，以利沙祷告说：“耶和华啊，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，是在撒玛利亚的城中。

以色列王见了他们，就问以利沙说：“我父啊，我可以击杀他们吗?”

回答说：“不可击杀他们。就是你用刀用弓掳来的，岂可击杀他们呢?当在他们面前摆设饮食，使他们吃喝，回到他们的主人那里。

”

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。
