Elisha said to them, “This is not the right road or the right city. Follow me and I’ll take you to the man you are looking for.” Then Elisha led them to Samaria. After they entered Samaria, Elisha said, “LORD, open these men’s eyes so they can see.” So the LORD opened their eyes, and the Aramean army saw that they were inside the city of Samaria! When the king of Israel saw the Aramean army, he said to Elisha, “My father, should I kill them? Should I kill them?” Elisha answered, “Don’t kill them. You wouldn’t kill people whom you captured with your sword and bow. Give them food and water, and let them eat and drink and then go home to their master.” So he prepared a great feast for the Aramean army. After they ate and drank, the king sent them away, and they went home to their master. The soldiers of Aram did not come anymore into the land of Israel. Later, Ben-Hadad king of Aram gathered his whole army and surrounded and attacked Samaria. There was a shortage of food in Samaria. It was so bad that a donkey’s head sold for about two pounds of silver, and half of a pint of dove’s dung sold for about two ounces of silver.

It is a reminder that things aren’t always what they seem, and, when God is our focus, we can successfully navigate the challenges that come our way.
