2 KINGS 6:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them: wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.”
Elisha says: "You shall not kill them. Would you kill those whom you have taken captive with your own sword and bow? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink and go to their master." — the prophet counsels hospitality rather than execution. The teaching turns captives into witnesses of Israel's power and generosity.
