Elisha leads the Syrians struck with blindness to Samaria; a great feast is prepared for them, and they are sent away to their master

엘리사가 눈이 어두워진 아람 사람을 사마리아로 인도하고 왕이 식물을 베풀어 놓아보냄

2 Kings 6:18–23: the text says, “When they came down to him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, and said, ‘Please strike this people with blindness.’ He struck them with blindness according to Elisha’s word.” Elisha says to them, “This is not the way, neither is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek.” He leads them to Samaria. When they had come into Samaria, Elisha says, “LORD, open these men’s eyes, that they may see.” The LORD opens their eyes, and they see; and behold, they were in the middle of Samaria. The king of Israel says to Elisha, when he saw them, “My father, shall I strike them? Shall I strike them?” He answers, “You shall not strike them. Would you strike those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, then go to their master.” The text goes on, “He prepared a great feast for them. After they ate and drank, he sent them away and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria stopped raiding the land of Israel.” The Korean Revised Version names the Syrians and Elisha at 6:18 (아람 사람이 엘리사에게 내려오매, the Syrians came down to Elisha), where WEB reads “they came down to him”; it gives the blinding with an honorific verb and no subject (엘리사의 말대로 그 눈을 어둡게 하신지라, according to Elisha’s word their eyes were made dark); it names no one at 6:22 (대답하되) (대답하되); at 6:22 it reads 치지 마소서, please do not strike them, a plea, where WEB reads “You shall not strike them”; and it names the king at 6:23 (왕이 위하여 식물을 많이 베풀고), where WEB says “He”.
