2 Kings6:18
18 And when they came down to him , Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness , according to the word of Elisha.
Either in the City, into which they easily got admission when they Declared, That the onely end of their coming, was to take Elisha: or in the Field without the City, whither he went to meet them.
Not with a Total Blindness, that they could see nothing, for then they would not have followed him; but with a partial Blindness, that they could not distinctly discern the Man they sought: which might be by some alteration made by God in their Brain, or in the Air. See the notes on Gen. 19. 11.
