u. The Syrian King Tries 70 Trap
Elisha wv. ELS.
/. He sent IN srny to 3pt1re him
wv. -. 14l. Upon learning that
Elisha was making known his &c
tons, he determined to put an end to
the matter BY Trapping him and making
him prisoner. How foolish to put
human cunning against divine Wis
dom. Horses and chario,s are useless
when God Is against U.s. Gods pur-
poses cannot be thwa1ed- II God b
for Us. who can be against Us?
2. Elisha's servant frightened ".
15. When he awoke one morning
be saw that an armed host was en-.
camping about the city. Viewed from
the human standpoint. we do nos
wonder that he was afYrighted.
8. Eiisha's encouragement ". 16).
He assured his servant that. Though
they were surrounded by the Syrian
army. there was mighfier host
Of heavenly defenders round about
them. Elisha did not shut bis eyes
to the real danger. but looked to the
helpers Of God watching about them.
4. Eiisha's prayer ". III. He asked
that the Lord would open the eyes Of
his servant 30 as to see spiritual
things. When the Lord opened the
eyes OF the young man he saw that
'-the mountain was full Of horses and
chariots Of Gre round about Elisha"
Round about US all the while are
angels guarding US from danger.
5. The syrians sinitten with blind.
ness ". 49,. The same God who
opened the eyes Of the young man.
blinded the eyes Of the Syrians. God
deals with men according to their
moral attitude. When men will not
have the light, God sends darkness.
m. The Syrian Army Trapped
wv. 1929.
The would-be trappers are now
trapped.
!. Army led by the man sought by
them wv. 10, D). Elisha led them
to Samaria and asked the Lord TO
open their eyes When their eyes were
open they saw the man whom they
sought. but not At the place where they
sought him. Instead Of seeing him at
Dothan as they expected. they saw
him IN Samarla.
2. The generous treatment Of the
Syrians wv. 2l-23). The king Of Israel
wanted to smlte the captves. but
Elisha forbade him and ordered instead
that they should be fed and sent back
TO their master.
8. Peace between the nations ". 23).
The mercy shown TO the Syrlans had
such profound effect upon them that
they came no more to make war upon
