ગુજરાતી2 રાજાઓ ૬:૨૨
એલિશાએ જવાબ આપ્યો, “તારે તેમને મારવા નહિ. જેઓને તેં તારી તલવારથી અને ધનુષથી કબજે કર્યાં નથી, તેઓને શું તું મારશે? તેઓની આગળ રોટલી અને પાણી મૂક કે, તેઓ ખાઈપીને પાછા પોતાના માલિક પાસે જાય.”
हिन्दी2 राजाओं ६:२२
उसने उत्तर दिया, “मत मार। क्या तू उनको मार दिया करता है, जिनको तू तलवार और धनुष से बन्दी बना लेता है? तू उनको अन्न जल दे, कि खा पीकर अपने स्वामी के पास चले जाएँ।”

In context

20When they had come into Samaria, Elisha said, “LORD, open these men’s eyes, that they may see.” The LORD opened their eyes, and they saw; and behold, they were in the middle of Samaria.

21The king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, “My father, shall I strike them? Shall I strike them?”

22He answered, “You shall not strike them. Would you strike those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, then go to their master.”

23He prepared a great feast for them. After they ate and drank, he sent them away and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria stopped raiding the land of Israel.

24After this, Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria.
