Chapter overview (whole chapter)
Elisha caused a lost axe head to float, then revealed the Syrian king's battle plans to Israel and struck a Syrian army with blindness before leading them into Samaria and having them fed and released. The Syrians later besieged Samaria so severely that famine drove some inhabitants to cannibalism, prompting the king of Israel to blame Elisha and seek his death.
