2 Kings 6:8

6 So the man of God said, “Where did it fall?” And he showed him the place. So ^ahe cut off a stick, and threw it in there; and he made the iron float.

7 Therefore he said, “Pick it up for yourself.” So he reached out his hand and took it.

8 Now the ^aking of Syria was making war against Israel; and he consulted with his servants, saying, “My camp will be in such and such a place.”

9 And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, “Beware that you do not pass this place, for the Syrians are coming down there.”

10 Then the king of Israel sent someone to the place of which the man of God had told him. Thus he warned him, and he was watchful there, not just once or twice.

11 Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was greatly troubled by this thing; and he called his servants and said to them, “Will you not show me which of us is for the king of Israel?”

12 And one of his servants said, “None, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom.”
