In the sunset, on the edge of the road, he left by the clouds.

Old Testament Story 26th Collection ---In the sunset, on the edge of the road, he left by the clouds.

Elijah was old. When he was young, he had hoped that King Ahab could abandon the false gods and lead the people back to the Lord, but he was saddened to see that Ahab was dead from the true God until the judgment of God came.

Elijah knew that Israel would not see Israel returning to God before he died. He took his disciple Elisha to Gilgal, where he watched the stone tablets that Joshua had erected with the twelve tribes four hundred years ago. The Israelites had circumcised here. Determined to belong to the Lord. Two hundred years ago, the prophet Samuel anointed the first king of Israel, Saul.

Go all the way. The early night of the night, the morning star Liao Wei, the mountain wind bragging the long men of the master and the teacher. Above the foothills, Elijah looked south and turned to Elisha and said, "You, stay here, the Lord told me to go to Bethel." 

Elisha was not good at words, but clearly saw the nostalgia and grief in the eyes of the master, and said, "I will swear by the living Lord and your life, I will never leave you." 

Two people arrived at Bethel before lunch, and the local prophets received them. Elijah squatted and went to the mountains alone to find the flat stone that the ancestors Jacob had slept in under the stars, dreaming of God's ladder eight hundred years ago, where God made a covenant with Jacob: "I am with you." No matter where you go, I will protect you and lead you back to this land. I will fulfill my promise to you and never give up on you.” The mountain is still the same, the mountains are still, God, Israel has already forsaken you. . Will they still lose this land? If so, when will you return them to your hometown?

During the meal, people were as silent as Elijah. Although they knew that Elijah had to leave, they could not find a better way to retain this time than silence. After the meal, Elijah said to Elisha, "You, stay here, the Lord sent me to Jericho." 

Elisha grinned and said, "I will swear by the living Lord and your life, and I will never leave you." 

In the evening, the two arrived at the Jericho site. The wall that collapsed four hundred years ago has long disappeared in the water-like time. The great city that had been glorious for hundreds of years left only the mounds it relied on. It seemed to contemplate the desolate past in the sunset. Elisha followed Elijah, and I am afraid that the master suddenly left. The fifty prophets of Jericho also came and greeted the two. Elijah looked late, and turned to Elisha and said, "Let's stay here, the Lord sent me through the Jordan River." 

Elisha still said, "I will swear by the living Lord and your life, I will never leave you." 

So the two continued in the sunset. Fifty prophets followed, fearing to disturb their time.

The Jordan River rushed south, and Elijah stood by the river and looked across the river. There were four million ancestors waiting in line to prepare to spend the Jordan River. There were priests who shouldered the ark of God and stepped into the rapids. Lived in the rushing river. Elijah took off the old nephew and rolled it into a roll, rising high, like a whip, bending over the river. The river is like a huge rough, cut off by the waist, divided into two sections to twitch in place, leaving a riverbed in the middle of the water.

Elijah took Elisha through the bottom of the river and came to the other side of the river. The river behind it was compounded and rushed forward. Elijah walked into the trees by the river and looked back. The setting sun hangs on the hill and is smearing the last red. No, Israel, don't, folks. Elijah looked up at the sky, and the sky gathered a cloud of clouds, like a huge leaf, slowly falling. “The time is up,” Elijah turned to ask Elisha: “What do you want me to do for you before I am picked up?” 

"Please give me your spirit more and more, I will take over."

Elijah said: "This request is very difficult. However, when I am picked up, if you can see me, you can get it, otherwise you will not get it."

Elijah continued to look east, and said some words to Elisha as he walked. In the heart of Elisha, suddenly saw a whirlwind blowing up, above the whirlwind is the huge colorful clouds, the whirlwind will cover Elijah, the fire eyes show a fire-like war horse, pulling a chariot like a flame. Elisha saw that Elijah was already sitting on the chariot, and it was necessary to flutter like a flag, and as the cyclone disengaged from the ground, it swung up.

Elisha had tears in his eyes and shouted: "My father, my father, the guardian of Israel, have you left this way!"

Elisha did not hear the echo, the master disappeared, the whirlwind disappeared, the clouds rose and disappeared, and Elijah looked up and looked up. Suddenly one thing fell, and Elisha looked up and looked at it. It was the nephew of the master. He wore a beast skin for decades. Elisha sneaked into thoughts, tears in his face, and sorrowfully took off his coat and tore two and a half, putting the virgin's nephew on his shoulders and walking back to the Jordan River.

The river is running like the old. Elisha lifted the outer skin of the hand high, and beat the river like a master. The river splashed a few splashes and still rushed south. Elisha yelled at heaven: "God of Elijah, where are you?" Then the river was again beaten, and the river broke open, revealing the riverbed.

The fifty prophets on the west bank of the river saw Elisha wearing the nephew of Elijah. He walked across the Jordan River and saw the tears on his face. He knew that Elijah had passed away and bowed to him and said, "I The power of Leah was attributed to Elisha."

Elisha lived in Jericho for a few days, and the locals asked him to heal the local waters, because the water there was salty and not growing crops. Elisha had a new bowl, filled with salt, and went to the water source, and poured the salt into the water and said, "The Lord said, 'I cleaned the water, and from then on it no longer makes people die, no longer makes the land Barren.'"

The water from that time has become sweeter, until today.

Elisha left Jericho and returned to Bethel. From there, he went to Mount Carmel, where he went to see the altar of the god Elijah dedicated to God, to see the altar that God burned with the fire of heaven.

 

The solemnity of true worship and the bloody sacrifice of false gods

The king of Israel, Joram the son of Ahab, led the army into Judah and joined the army of Jehoshaphat king of Judah. The coalition forces entered the east of southeastern Judah, and the king of East also united his army. The three coalition forces crossed the east and headed north to enter the territory of Moab.

It turned out that Ahab had made great achievements in the military before his death. Moab was weak. Every year he had to pay 100,000 rams of wool and 100,000 lambs to Israel. After the death of Ahab, the king of Moab, Misha, took the opportunity to rebel and no longer tribute. Yoland sent troops, and he wanted to force Misha to tribute, and secondly he would regain his prestige in the nations.

The three-nation coalition forces marched northward along a river valley at the junction of Moab and Judah, and intended to take the river valley, but the river valley was dry. Moab King Misha relied on the weather and the right place to avoid the coalition's sharp, and waited for work. Sure enough, the coalition forces after seven days of water, the people are thirsty, and the hot sun seems to be baking the last drop of sweat per person, and the heatstroke has fallen to the ground. The coalition forces digging the ground to dig wells but could not find any water source.

"It's over, it's over," Yoland was full of dust and despair, and said to Jehoshaphat and Edom King: "We can't go forward now, and King Moab can kill us at any time." Jehoshaphat and Edom The king bowed his head.

Jehoshaphat broke the silence and said, "Is there a prophet of the Lord here? We can ask him to ask the Lord." 

One of Joram’s servants pointed to the ear and replied: "I know that the prophet Elisha was near here, and he was his assistant to Elijah." 

Jehoshaphat heard the name of Elisha and said with a sigh of relief: "The Lord will surely lend him to speak to us."

Then the three kings led the servants to find Elisha. At that time Elisha wore the leather garments of Elijah, standing under the shade of the trees, and knew that the three of them came to the heart, and said to the headed Yoram: "Why should I help you? You go to ask your parents to worship Baal. Let the prophets go."

Yolande said, "It is not. Because this is the Lord who has let us fall into this desperate situation and let the Moab king slaughter."

Elisha said to Yoram, "I swear by the King of Hosts, the Lord of the Lord, who I am serving, if it is not because of my respect for the king of Judah, I will not see you, nor will I help. You. Now, go find a violinist."

Soon, the violinist came under the shade of the tree, sitting on the piano and playing the music that Elisha had ordered. The sound of the piano is soaring, the beat is fast, and suddenly it’s like a flood of water, and it’s like a galloping horse. It’s unstoppable. The listener is all generous. Elisha opened his arms in the music, looked up at the sky, and shivered, and muttered in the mouth. Jehoshaphat was already full of tears, and bowed down to worship the Lord. Yoland was stunned at the side and was at a loss. The king of East was cramped and uneasy.

After the music stopped, Elisha was radiant and said to the Three Kings: "The Lord commanded you to dig a ditch in the valley, because the Lord said, 'You don't see the wind, you don't see the rain, but there are everywhere in the valley. Water, people and animals will drink.'"

The three kings looked at each other and smiled. Jehoshaphat asked: "Thank you for the salvation of the Lord, how is the war?"

"These things are insignificant to the Lord. He will also put the Moabites in your hands. You will capture all the strong towns of Moab, cut down all the beautiful trees, block all the springs, and destroy all the good fields with stones."

Then the three kings thanked him and said goodbye to Elisha and returned to the military camp. On the second morning, Judah and the two kings of Israel sacrificed to the Lord, and arranged for the army to queue up and prepare to drink water. The priests burned the sacrifices on the altar, and the smoke smashed up. At this time, within the Cognac Valley, from the south to the north, there was a river flowing slowly from the east of the river, flowing over the riverbed, filling the large and small ditches dug by the army the night before. The three armies were overjoyed, and the human and animal husbandry, such as the long-term drought, suddenly caught the rain, took water and sipped, and relieved thirst. After that, the three armed forces sat in the same place in accordance with the military order, and the knife and gun were in hand, but they could not make any sound. Within the valley, there is silence.

At this time, the rising sun rose, crossed the Moab highlands, projected into the large and small puddles in the river valley, reflected the red light of the blood, was clearly seen by the Mob's spies, and quickly went back to report to Moab. It turns out that since the entry of the coalition forces, the king of Moab has led all the troops, followed the coalition forces day and night, but hidden in the dark, condescending, waiting for the opportunity, and saw the coalition forces in the first few days, knowing that their barracks will be transformed by water shortage.

The spy ran back to the Moab camp and reported to the Moab king Misha: "The king, we just saw the enemy camps different: there are hundreds of pools of blood in the valley where they are located, and every pool of blood is smashed around. Soldiers, both with swords and guns in their hands. They must be killed by water shortages. Now they are dead in the camp, and they must have been wiped out."

After listening to Misha, laughter is more than awkward: "I really can't figure out my magical effect. The enemy coalition forces are not attacking and destroying themselves. The seriousness left by them has to let us enjoy our success. Hahaha! You generals, you have a trip."

Then the Moab army rushed to the valley, and everyone hated that they had two empty hands to take things, and everyone turned to the front. A sudden bang in the coalition camp, the coalition forces sitting on the ground jumped up and screamed and murdered to the Moabites. The Moabites were so arrogant that they thought that the dead would be resurrected. They were cut down to the ground by the coalition forces in the same place. They woke up and turned and fled early. If the waves did not flow to the beach, they would be scattered and sprinkled with messy water.

The coalition forces rushed to kill, and each time they captured a city, they crushed the fertile fields in the suburbs with stones, blocked the springs, and cut down the fruit trees. The coalition forces were like a broken bamboo, and they forced the last city to be the capital of the Moab capital.

King Moab was desperately resisting in the city, but the coalition forces sent out the fine stone soldiers, surrounded the city group, and smashed the pebbles like raindrops to the city walls and the city, and the walls gradually collapsed. Misha saw the city broken only on the eve of the evening, and gathered seven hundred warriors. In order to break through the weakest east coalition forces, they could not break through and were forced back into the city.

The coalition forces broke the city and eager to make a head. Suddenly a fire broke out on the city of Moab, and there was a music of sacredness, such as the soul of the soul. The three kings of the coalition did not know why, and stopped the three armies. I saw the top of the wall, and the Moab king Misha was like a scorpion, with a face like a scorpion, a cloaked hair, standing in front of a firewood, a circle of priests behind the body, a slap in the mouth, a shoulder-shouldered five-flowered The young man placed him flat on the battlement in front of Misha.

The man is less than twenty. Although he is eye-catching, he looks like a dead gray and his eyes are closed. Some of the three kings recognized that it was the Prince of Misha. He did not understand Misha. He saw Misha raising his hands and seeing the cold flash. Misha had already stabbed his hand in his chest and pressed it tightly. The son who was convulsed whispered in his ear. The body of the prince had just subsided, and Misha shouted again, took out the dagger, and pierced his son's chest again. After a while, he took out a bloody heart. He held his heart in both hands and placed it on the arduous altar.

Under the city, Yoland and Joshua had already been soaked in cold sweat. If they stood in the cold winter, the soldiers behind them screamed with the instinct of each movement of Misha. Some people could not look directly at them, and some people whispered.

The coalition forces yelled at the city and turned to the army.

In this battle, the king of Israel Joram experienced the salvation of the Lord, and witnessed the bloody and cruelty of the false god worship, but finally did not repent and never experienced a similar victory. And the king of Judah, after a number of generations, actually had to do the same, killing his eldest son with his own hands.

 

God healed the terminal illness of the enemy only because of his confidence.

The woman walked into the inner room of the general, and her heart was restless. The general returned from this battle and stayed in the house for a long time.

The general heard the woman's footsteps and turned from the window. He was dressed in a casual dress, and the woman immediately saw that his forearm was covered with shackles, like a sly back, like the green moss on the well platform in the middle of the night, with a dim moonlight. Make the woman feel overwhelmed and stand in the corner.

"I told your wife, can anyone in Israel cure this disease?" The general's voice was still loud, but it added a bit of desolateness.

"Yes, general. Near the Samaritan of Israel, a prophet called Elisha, he can certainly cure the general."

"Why are you so sure? Did you see him not?" The general looked at the Israeli slave girl who had been plundered by himself, and was dubious.

"There was no prophet that the woman had seen before, but she heard the elders telling about his deeds from an early age. He separated the Jordan River, sweetened a bitter spring outside Jericho, and let an axe fall into the Jordan River. Floating up. A widow owes money to her late husband, and the debt mainly robs her two young children to be slaves. But the widow has a bottle of oil at home, and she is in poverty. She goes to Elisha. The prophet sees her pity and lets her borrow all the neighbor’s pots. Then the prophet asked her to close the door and pour the bottle of oil into the containers. All the containers were full! She sold the money, paid off the debt, and the remaining money was enough for her to raise the child. ""

"Really?", the general’s voice was a little brisk. "It’s just that it has nothing to do with healing..."

"General, he still has a greater miracle. Elisha often passes by, and there is a rich wife who treats him every time to eat and drink. He also reserved a room for him. For a long time, the prophet has a heart. To reward her, I heard that she is infertile, she predicted that her husband and wife would have a son, and she was born a year later! Later, when the child was a few years old, he suddenly got an emergency and died. Run to find the prophet. The prophet actually saved her son again! The prophet has many other miracles..."

The voice of the woman floated down, and the general’s eyes slowly brightened. Although Israel was an enemy and he was the marshal of Aram, after all, Aram had always been at the upper hand, and the king of Israel should not send this person.

Things really did as he expected. The king of Israel, Jolan, welcomed the generals and his party. After the feast, the general presented the letter of King Aram to Yoland. The letter reads: "I would like to introduce my servant to you in this letter, and ask you to heal his leprosy."

After reading the letter, Yolan had a different face. Please return to the museum for a rest. After the death of Isaac, Yoland looked around the minister and read the contents of the letter to the ministers. The ministers bowed their heads. Yolan suddenly left the seat, tearing his hand with his hands and shouting loudly: "Is it God, can manipulating people's life and death? This guy told me to heal him a general leprosy! Doesn't he know Israel?" The leprosy patient can only die in the wild? He wants to find an excuse to attack us."

Naaman did not know the despair of Yoram. The power of Elisha was known even to his maids, and the king of Israel would not know. He waited patiently in Wang's high-end restaurant, waiting for the king to call the prophet to Beijing.

Yoland is as old as he is, and he does not know how to entertain the peace-minded enemy marshal. He has to send people to accompany the wine every day. But one day, a villager asked to see Yoland. Yoland looked at the man’s head and did not ask him to come. The man said, "I am the prophet sent by Elisha. He has something to say to you: Why are you tearing the clothes? Send the man to come to me. I want him to know that Israel has a prophet."

In the direction of Yoland's direction, Naaman left Samaria with his own team and valuable gifts, went to the countryside to find Elisha, and walked to suppress the faint anger. It turns out that in the past few days, Yoland not only did not summon Elisha, but he was even unwilling to send people to accompany him. I am so terrible that I am in the wilderness, asking for directions everywhere, so I am not embarrassed.

The residence of Elisha was finally found. It was a low-rise earthen house, and the low door even touched the goat's horn. The general sat on the horse, waiting for the servant to enter the house to inform, the servant came out soon, and a disciple of the prophet came out. The general glimpsed and looked at the disciple quietly. The man approached and said to the general: "The prophet knows that the general is coming. The general is going to bathe in the Jordan River seven times, and the patient will heal."

The anger almost ignited the general's eyes. If this was in Syria, he sent people early to turn the prophet into two paragraphs. But after all, it is an enemy country, but you are not a visitor, you can't make it. The general forced the anger and set the horse to leave. After walking away, he finally said: "It is an old liar. Otherwise, he should come out to meet me at least, and pray in the name of the Lord, to heal my disease." He is better, but he only sent an apprentice out and told me to go to a far and dirty Jordan River. Can I not find a clearer and more open river in Syria? Is it my slave who was called by him? !"

"General, please think twice." The servant who saw the prophet when he entered the house said: "In order to cure the disease, if the prophet asks you to do difficult things, you must do it without hesitation. Now the prophet lets you go to the Jordan River. It’s not easy to bathe seven times? Why don’t you do it and let your body heal?”

The general turned his head to look at the servant, and looked down at his bare arm. Several flies were sucking yellow pus on the gorgeous skin, but he was unaware. He hated the flies and looked east. There is a three-day trip to the Jordan River. He meditated for a moment, turned his head and headed for the Jordan River.

The Jordan River flows quietly. The generals look at the river and look like they want to see the fascinating light from the river. The river still turbidly rolled. The general dismounted, took off his clothes, and walked into the river, and the river was cooler than he thought. He couldn't help but take a cold shower and slowly walked into deep water until the water had lost his head. He swam back to the shore and walked up the river bank to seriously look at the affected area of his leprosy. The arm that the fly had just smashed had a feeling of numbness and crispness, sparkling with crystal water drops.

The general became a child, suddenly no longer clinging to his patients. He turned and ran back to the Jordan River, throwing up colorful flowers. The servants laughed and gave the generals a number of baths. The Jordan River rushes southward, and a waterfowl hides in the shade of the trees, squinting at these uninvited guests, and feels inexplicable.

"It’s been seven times," the servants shouted together. Nai is on the bank. Everyone looked at him. He also looked down at his arm. The arm was like a scar, and the once smashed place, such as the sludge, was washed away, revealing the tender flesh of the white, smooth as ever. Everyone was stunned, as if they saw a vision.

The general’s eyes rolled out of tears. He pretended to wipe away the tears from his head and wiped away his tears. He tried to calm his voice and said, “Let us go back and look for Elisha again. The Lord who believes in Him is the true God. I am going Worship Him."

 

As long as the result of the miracle, he ignores the cause of the miracle

It is an ancient city with a flat terrain and surrounded by mountains. Joseph had found eleven brothers who were sheep here, but they were thrown into a pit and sold to merchants who went to Egypt to be slaves. In the past 800 years, this place has developed into a small town, but it still has beautiful water and beautiful climate.

The chicken humming just passed, the morning mist still floated on the hill, and the people in the city were still asleep. With a twist, there was a young man who opened the door of a soil house with a jug in his hand and walked outside the city. He is going to play well water, so he can come back and cook for the master.

He stood at the well, lowered the well rope, and looked at the hills not far from the water. How did the black forests emerge everywhere in the hills overnight? He was puzzled, blinked again, there was no wind but the trees were shaking? Look again, his heart suddenly fell to the bottom of the well with the bucket. It was not a tree at all, and the mountains were densely ambushed. The Ukrainian pressure was like a fly filled the corner of the beam, and I thought that no one saw it.

Although the heart is jumping wildly, he tries to return to the city at normal pace. The master had already prayed early and stood in the yard. "Master, the big thing is not good. I just went out to fetch water and found that the city has been surrounded by the army of Aram! They must have come last night."

Elisha looked at the horrified apprentice and smiled a little: "I already knew they were coming."

"Master, why don't you tell me in advance about the deployment and marching direction of the Arameans as I did the previous times? I am going to tell the king of Israel as before. But this time they don't seem to be surrounded by the king because The king is still in Samaria."

"This time they did not come to encircle the king, but to encircle you and me."

Some dogs suddenly called in the distance, and the apprentice was shocked and said with a crying cry: "Master, then we are dead."

"Don't be afraid! It's more with us than with them." 

Elisha tightened the old nephew that Elijah had left for him, and looked at heaven and prayed, "Lord, open the eyes of this young man so that he can see."

The young man looked down at Elisha's fingers. The city suddenly burst into the wild like a golden flame. He exclaimed and looked back, but the sun was still hiding behind the mountain. He turned his head and looked at it. After seeing the flashing flame, it was a faint number of chariots. He saw the Tianma Tianjun that Elisha saw when he was ascended to heaven.

Eli Sarah lived in the hands of the apprentice and said, "Don't be afraid, you see the army of the Lord. If God does not allow, no one can hurt you. Come, let us go out of town and meet the army of Aram. long."

The shit in the city is one after another, making a mess. People all ran to the street, and looked at the army of Aram in horror as the black water flowed down the hillside and slowly gathered outside the city. The crying of the children began to sound, and they were quickly suppressed by the mothers. The men did not talk, and they stayed with the Elisha men and women who had passed by.

The young man followed Elisha and walked toward the enemy. He heard the master praying as he walked and said, "God, please turn these Asians into disappointment." He did not know what to say. In a twinkling of an eye, the two walked outside the city, and the people of the Arran, like the river, bypassed the bluestone and closed, and surrounded the two in the army. The commander on the chariot asked Elisha: "We heard that Elisha is in this multi-city, and you take us to see him."

Elisha said, "This is not the way, nor the city. You will go with me, and I will lead you to the people I am looking for." After that, Elisha took his disciples and walked out of the encirclement. The Syrian army did not say a word, followed.

The sun rose, and the gates of Samaria opened wide. Elisha sent his disciples to the front and told the army that there would be a large army. Just follow the arrangements of Elisha. The defenders of the whole city were on alert, held important road junctions, and heavily guarded the palace, leaving only the squares in the city without fortification. The people stayed indoors and had the daring climb to the roof to look down. I saw the army of the Aram, like a snake, and followed Elisha, passing through the streets of the city, but as if they were sleepwalking, looking straight ahead, and seeing the Israeli soldiers on both sides of the street as if they were watching the wild trees.

The king of Israel, Jolan, sat on the chariot of the city square and said nothing, watching Elisha lead the Syrian army to guide the river into the reservoir and enter the square. The Israeli army silently encircled the square, such as the stone plaque surrounding the reservoir. Jehoshaphat nodded to Joram, then looked up and prayed, "Let's open the eyes of these people, so that they may see them."

When the voice fell, a sudden exclamation sounded on the square, and then the knife and the gun landed one after another, and the crying sound gradually grew into a mourning. When the commander of Aram was awakened, he looked at himself and was surrounded by the buckets of the Israeli army. He looked up and saw the cold eyes of the king of Israel. Wang asked: "Why did you bring troops into the invasion?"

The captain shed cold sweat: "The king of Aram ambushed the army several times before, but we sneaked into it every time. We suspected that there was spies around him. The minister told the king that it was Israel’s Elisha every time. I can predict the arrangement of the king and send someone to tell you how to avoid it. So the king sent us to grab the shop for Elisha, but I don’t know why it was here, surrounded by you. Please be merciful."

The king of Israel stopped answering, but turned to Elisha: "My father, can I kill them?"

"You can't kill them! Even if you use a knife to take captives with your bows, don't kill them, let alone take the initiative to come? When you set up a diet in front of them, let them eat and drink and return to their masters."

Yoland nodded and said good, so he seized all the weapons of the other party and sent people to arrange meals. The Yolanders were already hungry and thirsty, and they all bowed their heads and then left.

The sun sets and the city of Samaria is quiet. The apprentice followed Elisha and walked to the crowd. Elisha did not say a word and walked down. The disciple was curious and asked: "Master, what if the enemy ambushes us like this next time?"

"They won't. But they have to make a big attack."

The disciple was silent for a moment and asked: "Why do they hate us like this?"

Elisha also paused for a moment, and then answered: "Because the king of Israel is like the Aramaic today, he will turn a blind eye to the Lord."

 

Does suffering come from God or your disobedience?

The king of Israel, Joram, stared at the night, ascended the wall and looked out the city. A few miles away, there is a circle of military camps around the city. If the tumors are out of control, the lights in the camp are swaying. The people of Yalan are making dinner. The aroma of the meat is like an invisible flying insect. It flies into the nostrils of Yoland and drills straight into it. His stomach, causing helplessness. Yoland stunned and held the wall, and an officer next to him grabbed his arm.

The city has already dried up, and the Syrians have pour the power of the whole country. The soldiers are under the city, but they are not attacking the city. Instead, they will be trapped as dead. A few months later, the city was full of food, and every day people starved to death. Even the pigeon dung became a food for people to fight for, and a pound of silver was sold in a pound. The Arameans did not know about these and did not care. They seemed to be united in this way until there was no trace of water in the dry well.

Yoland was helped by the squatting, patrolling along the wall, and the soldiers of the defending city tried their best to straighten their bodies and greet the king. What Yoram saw was a skeleton that was adorned with military uniforms, and only the eyes showed a hint of vitality. Yoland wants to cry without tears. Even if these soldiers are not starved to death, they will have no fighting power. Is Israel like a raging sun-smashing reptile, will it die silently? Will the God of Israel be willing to punish me like this? The Elisha, the marshal who last healed the enemy, kindly released the enemy. This time, seeing his compatriots starve to death but stand by and watch?

A woman suddenly rushed to the front of the king and woke him up. The woman was in her twenties, and her hair was scattered. She pulled another woman of the same age and cried to the king: "Well, please help me." 

Wang saw that the woman collapsed her cheeks, but her tearful eyes shone like a red burning coke, and she smelled a strange smell in her mouth. She couldn’t help but feel amazed. She stepped back and said, “If the Lord does not help you. How can I help you? I have neither food nor wine. What are your difficulties?"

"Well, this woman has lost faith in me! We are neighbors, and we all gave birth to our sons last year. My husband is starving to death. Last night, she said to me: 'We are always dying, not eating now. Your son, then eat my son tomorrow night. 'I want to let his son starve to death, it is better to kill him, so he slept him, killed him. After cooking, I shared with her. She chewed my son's bones! Tonight, I went to her house but couldn't see her son. She hid him!"

Yoland suddenly felt like drinking a bitter bitter sea, holding the wall, bending over and vomiting, but only spit out the turbid stomach juice. He stood up straight, looked up at the sky, his hands violently tore the king's suit, and made a beast-like cry. "If the head of Elisha is still on his neck today, may God punish me!"

Wang turned to the samurai around him and said, "You go to Elisha's residence and take his head down with a sharp knife. I will then come and see his bloody head." The warrior took the lead.

Elisha did stay in the city because God made him wait for today. He was praying with a few prophets and suddenly stopped and said, "Look, the murderer's son sent a killer, and he is coming here, to kneel down." The people were shocked and left. Elisha added: "You are hiding behind the door. When the killer opens the door and comes in half, you use the door to press him. The master behind him will arrive."

The crowd just flashed to the door, the door slammed open, a figure flashed in, and everyone was on the door, the man could not move, screaming. Being in a stalemate, some people outside the door are as low as a nightmare: "Since this evil comes from the Lord, why should I look to Him again? I am the king of Israel, and you will open the door for the time being."

Everyone in the house looked at Elisha, and Elisha gestured to open the door, and the killer was so embarrassed that he returned to the king. Yoram stared at Elisha and sneered, "Isn't this all caused by your God?"

"God did not lead to this, but because you bowed to Baal, still did not repent, bring these disasters to the people. But God wants to show you a sign so that you know that He is the true God. The Lord said this: 'Tomorrow At the gate of the city of Samaria, six pounds of fine noodles only sell two money, and twelve pounds of barley also sell the same price.'"

Yoland thought thoughtfully and bowed his head. The officer who helped him sneered: "Don't the Lord wait until now to remember that there is a window in the sky that can make the flour fall?"

"Since you say so, you will see it with your own eyes, but you can't eat it."

Elisha turned his head and said to the king: "Things have already been done, please go back to the palace."

When Joram returned to the palace, he did not return to the city wall, and he did not notice the dust rising from the Yalan military camp.

In the middle of the night, Yoland was suddenly awakened by the guards. The officer of the defending gate asked for help. He said to the king: "There were four leprosy patients who yelled outside the city gate and said that they went to Aram before starving last night. The army asked for food, and it was dead. Anyway, they approached the military camp, but found that the enemy camp was empty, and they did not eat the dinner. They ate as much as they ate the various foods in the camp and took countless gold and silver jewelry. After eating, I was afraid that God would repay them, so I dared not hide such good news and ran to the city gate to report it to me. I don't know the truth, I will report it to the king."

Yoland bowed his head and meditated. He looked up and said after a long while: "The Arameans must seduce us out of the city, but ambush in the dark."

"Wang, there are still five horses in our city alive, and we can barely pull two chariots. If you send a few sentinels out of the chariot, go to the enemy camp to investigate and see if there is any ambush around."

Yoland nodded and said good.

The city was sensational, and the news spread, hoping to ignite the vitality of the people. They all took the rice bowl and rushed to the gate of the city, waiting for the spy to return. The spies did not return, the sun slowly rose, and slowly fell, and some people fell to the ground, and the hopes of the still alive people slowly rose and slowly fell like the sun.

The sun is falling, and people are almost desperate. Suddenly there were soldiers shouting on the wall: "They are back!" The gates were finally opened for several months. Yesterday, the officers of the King of the Kings ran down the wall and maintained order at the gate of the city. The flow of people is like a flood in a dyke, rushing over any obstacles between them and food. The officer was trampled to the ground, and countless feet stepped on him like a rain. He bleeds his nose and mouth. Before he died, he saw the flow of people flowing back like a tide, pouring into the city, holding various foods in each hand.

That night, when people were full, they began to trade the food discarded by the Syrians. Six pounds of fine noodles only sell two money, and twelve pounds of barley also sell the same price.

The reason why the Arameans fled on the night before was that the Lord had let them hear the rolling chariots and the galloping horses. They were so astonished that they thought that the Egyptian rescuers had suddenly killed them, so they fled to Syria and fled back to Syria.
