Elisha and the Chariots of Fire at Dothan

The king of Aram keeps losing battles because Elisha is supernaturally relaying his battle plans to Israel's king.

Elisha prays, and the servant's eyes are opened — the hills are full of horses and chariots of fire protecting them. Then Elisha prays again, and the Syrian army is struck with blindness.

Elisha tells the king to feed them and send them home — and the Syrian raids on Israel stop.
