And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto Jehovah, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.

Now when the Aramaeans came down to Elisha, he made a prayer to the Lord saying, Lord, make this people blind. And he made them blind at Elisha's request.

Και οτε κατεβησαν προς αυτον οι Συριοι, προσηυχηθη ο Ελισσαιε προς τον Κυριον και ειπε, Παταξον, δεομαι, τον λαον τουτον με αορασιαν. Και επαταξεν αυτους με αορασιαν, κατα τον λογον του Ελισσαιε.

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.
