2 Kings 6:14
βTherefore he sent horses, chariots, and a great army there. They came by night, and surrounded the city.β
What does 2 Kings 6:14 mean?
When the king of Aram heard that the prophet Elisha kept exposing his military plans to Israel, he sent a massive force to capture him in the city of Dothan. The soldiers arrived under cover of darkness and encircled the whole city, trapping Elisha and making escape seem impossible. It's a moment of genuine danger, the kind that would send anyone's heart racing, and it sets up one of Scripture's most reassuring reminders about what's really happening beneath the surface of our struggles.
