So angels protected Lot, and led him out safely from the midst of Sodom. So they protected Elisha in the little mountain city. When the encircling hills were filled with the horses and chariots of the king of Syria, and the great host of his armed men, Elisha beheld the nearer hill slopes covered with the armies of God,--horses and chariots of fire round about the servant of the Lord.

Sådan beskyttede også englene Lot og førte ham i sikkerhed ud fra Sodoma. Sådan beskyttede de Elisa i den lille bjergby. Da de omliggende bjerge var opfyldt af kongen af Syriens heste og vogne, så Elisa, at de nærmeste bjergskråninger var fulde af Herrens hærskarers heste og ildvogne omringede Herrens tjener.
