Open His Eyes

Name Date

Read the Story

The prophets needed a bigger place to live. They went to the Jordan to cut wood. One man's ax head fell into the water. He cried out that it was borrowed. Elisha cut a stick and threw it in. The iron floated, and the man took it.

The king of Syria was at war with Israel. Each time he planned an attack, Elisha warned Israel's king. The Syrian king learned Elisha was in Dothan. He sent horses, chariots, and a great army by night. In the morning, Elisha's servant saw the army and was afraid.

Elisha said not to be afraid. Those who are with us are more than those who are with them. He prayed that God would open the servant's eyes. The servant saw the mountain full of horses and chariots of fire. Elisha prayed, and God struck the army blind. Elisha led them to Samaria. Israel's king wanted to strike them. Elisha said to give them food and water. So the king made a great feast and sent them home.

Memory Verse
