Melachim Bet (II Kings) — Perek 6

Elisha makes an iron axe-head float, repeatedly thwarts Aramean military ambushes, and Shomron suffers a severe famine during an Aramean siege.

Elisha miraculously causes a borrowed iron axe-head to float on the Jordan River. He repeatedly warns the King of Israel about Aramean ambushes and blinds an entire Aramean army sent to capture him, leading them harmlessly into Shomron. Later, King Ben-Hadad of Aram besieges Shomron, causing an extreme famine where citizens resort to horrific measures to survive.
