  The story of Elijah being surrounded by an army of angels is a popular episode in the life of the prophet Elijah, as described in the Bible in 2 Kings chapter 6. According to the story, the king of Aram was at war with Israel, and he sent his army to capture Elijah, who was seen as a threat to his plans. The Aramean army surrounded the city of Dothan, where Elijah was staying with his servant. When Elijah's servant saw the large army of Aram, he was afraid and asked Elijah what they should do. Elijah prayed to God, asking him to open the servant's eyes so that he could see the reality of the situation. When the servant's eyes were opened, he saw that the hills around them were filled with horses and chariots of fire, representing the army of angels sent by God to protect them. Elijah then prayed to God to strike the Aramean army with blindness, and they were subsequently led to Samaria, where they were captured by the Israelites. The story ends with the king of Israel spa
