2 Kings 6:14
Compare all
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.”
13 So he said, “Go and see where he is, that I may send and get him.” And it was told him, saying, “Surely he is in aDothan.”  
14 Therefore he sent horses and chariots and a great army there, and they came by night and surrounded the city.
15 And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?”
16 So he answered, a“Do not fear, for bthose who are with us are more than those who are with them.”  
17 And Elisha prayed, and said, “Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the Lord aopened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of bhorses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.  
18 So when the Syrians came down to him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, and said, “Strike this people, I pray, with blindness.” And aHe struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.  
19 Now Elisha said to them, “This is not the way, nor is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek.” But he led them to Samaria.

II Kings 6:14-17

Elisha could not literally see with his eyes all of these spirit beings that were out there on the mountain. But by faith, through the eyes of faith, because he knew God, because he was close to God, he understood that God was with Him always, and here was this tremendous army of angelic beings protecting His servant Elisha.

Whether that army was always there is a moot point. They may have been there simply because the Syrian army was there. It did not matter whether there was one or many; it was really an indication of God through Elisha, through the vision to this young man, that wherever God is, it is weighted in your favor. We have no need to fear the many who may come against us.
