1. The king of Aram tries to ambush the king of Israel:
- The king of Aram sets up an ambush to kill the king of Israel and his soldiers: The king of Aram was in a state of war with the people of Israel, and he took council with his servants regarding encamping in a secret location from where they can ambush [the king of Israel, or his soldiers, when they travel to Aram to fight them[1], and so they went and set up ambush in a secret location].
- Elisha prophetically reveals the location of the ambush to the king of Israel: Elisha sent a message to the king of Israel warning him not to pass the secret location where the Arameans were hiding awaiting to ambush. The king of Israel sent messengers to that location to see if the words of Elisha were true, and indeed he took precautions to avoid the area many times.
