Israelite and Syrian might well be hushed into awe before the prophet whose God had so wonderâ€" fully made the Syrian armament inefâ€" fective and yet had not trusted Israel with a battle or a viectory. But the God _of battles will still show his divine compassion, love and wisdom. It was human for the King of Israel to ery out, "My father, shall I smite them?" But divine love shines in Elisha, and in his hands Israel‘s worst enemies are safe. At the word of Elisha the Syrian solâ€" diers have their sight restored; at his command meat is set before them, and‘ they are sent back to their own counâ€" try. The Syrians return, not with the yoke of bondage riveted upon them beâ€" cause of their defeat, but with their hearts subdued by a toch of Giod‘s love. They return, not to boast of deeds of valor, but to spread abroad the fame of the Giod of Israel. Elisha defended. The Syrian king, â€" | feeling himself thwarted by the cunning e jof Elisha, or possibly by the interferâ€" 1 | ence of Elisha‘s God, determined to rid ~ I himself of that troubler. Surely, he â€" ]| thought, the well equipped and well disâ€" t |ciplined Syrian army can capture one | lone prophet. Underâ€" cover of darkness [ | of night the roy@l army assembled at | Dothan and stationed itself for action |at daybreak. The town was to be _| searched and Elisha brought out. But on | the same night horses and chariots of fire driven by angelic warriors swept silently out of the gates of paraâ€" dise, and all unseen by eyes less accusâ€" tomed to heavenly light than those of Elisha, settled down on the mountain opposite the Syrian host. God had sent down his army to defend the prophet, save his people and make his name known among the heathen. Filled with a sense of the divine presence and aid, Elisha breathes a prayer for his> terriâ€" fied and shrinking servant and steps out boldly to the attack. In that battle there was no bloodshed; no prisoners of war. A little confusion of vision, a little inspired tact on the part of the prophet, and the Syrian army was soon inside the walls of Samaria and at the merey of its foes, That battle was God‘s battle and the outcome was his victory. Was not Elisha as successfullw defended and his cause vindicated as well as could have been done by a mighty human slaughter at the edge of the sword? Who has espoused a divine cause at the cost of his earthly prospects, his life, his all? May he safely trust in Elisha‘s God? Let the psalmist answer: "Though an host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear." Let Daniel be heard form the lions‘ den: "My God hath sent his npé!l and hath shut the lions‘ mouths ,tSet they have not hurt me; forasmuch as before him innoceney was found in me." Sciatica put him on Crutchkâ€" I Elisha revealing secrets. In ths lesâ€" son flashes out upon the ition * and unbelief of the Mg;rian, as well as upon backsliding Israel, one of the many miraculous manifestations of the presence and power of the God of i Israel. Benhadad, King of Syria, proâ€" ceeding with good human wisdom, acâ€" cording to a royal ambition to increase his domain, laid his plans for a series of ambuscades by which he felt sure he might weaken the Israelitish army or possibly destroy it and add that ging- dom to his own. But Benhadad made a royal but inexcusable mistake. He forgot totake into his account God and his faithful servant Elisha. Nor was it safe for the Syrian king because of the reports that God had forsaken Israel. to picture for himself an easy prey. A midnight whisper of an angel into the willing and faithful ear of Elisha and the ambuscades were fruitless, for no Israelite approached them; or, the king of Israel, forewarned by Elisha, preoccuâ€" pied the places designed to be snares for Israel, and the wily Syrian was again foiled. Here then in this lone proâ€" phet shines the light of God for two kings and two peoples. Let Israel again behold the ancient halo of divinity and cry out, "The Lord is our God. VVZ& will serve him." Shall not the Syrians know that the God who sees their secrets and reveals them to their enemies will deâ€" fend his prophet Elisha and his people Israel ? to this and ordered them to be well fed and sent back to Benhadad. 23. The reâ€" sult of Elisna‘s kindness was that the Syrians ceased this sort of warfare against Israel.
