2Kgs 6:18 · Douay-Rheims
“And the enemies came down to him, but Eliseus prayed to the Lord, saying: Strike, I beseech thee, this people with blindness. And the Lord struck them with blindness, according to the word of Eliseus.”
On this verse:
“HIS ARMY SMITTEN WITH BLINDNESS. (Kg2 6:18-23) Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness--not a total and material blindness, for then they could not have followed him, but a mental hallucination (see Gen 19:11) so that they did not perceive or recognize him to be the object of their search.”
