00:00Once upon a time, in the ancient city of Samaria, times were very tough.
00:05The city was surrounded by enemies, and everyone was extremely hungry.
00:09High atop the city walls, the king of Israel looked out with a worried face.
00:14He saw the massive army tents blocking all the food.
00:17In the marketplace, stalls were empty.
00:20Children and their parents looked at their bear baskets,
00:23wondering when they would ever have a full meal again.
00:26But Elisha, the kind prophet, had a bold message from God.
00:30By this time tomorrow, he promised, there will be plenty of food for everyone.
00:35The world captain just laughed.
00:37He didn't believe in miracles.
00:39Even if God opened windows in the sky, that couldn't happen.
00:42He mocked.
00:43Meanwhile, outside the city gates, four friends sat together.
00:47They felt forgotten and ignored, but they were about to become very important.
00:52Why stay here and do nothing?
00:54One friend asked.
00:55He pointed toward the enemy camp.
00:57If we go there, maybe they will help us.
01:00As the sun began to set, the four friends started walking.
01:04They were nervous, but they took one brave step after another toward the camp.
01:08Suddenly, a miracle happened.
01:11God made the Syrian army hear the thunderous sound of thousands of horses and chariots charging toward them.
01:17Terrified, the soldiers thought a giant army was attacking.
01:20They dropped everything and ran away into the night as fast as they could.
01:24The four friends tiptoed into the camp.
01:27To their total amazement, it was completely empty.
01:30Not a single soldier was left behind.
01:33But the camp was full of delicious snacks, fresh bread, and piles of shiny gold.
01:38The friends cheered and had a mini-feast right there.
01:41Then, one friend stopped.
01:43We shouldn't keep this secret, he said.
01:45Today is a day of good news, and we must tell our city.
01:49They ran back to the city wall as fast as their legs could carry them, shouting up to the guards,
01:54The army is gone.
01:55The king sent a scout to check.
01:57Soon, the scout came back with a big thumbs up.
02:01It was true.
02:02The food was there for everyone.
02:03The city gates creaked open wide.
02:06People rushed out with joy, their faces glowing with hope as they ran to the camp to find food.
02:11Soon, the marketplace was buzzing again.
02:15Just as Elisha promised, there was plenty of fresh bread and grain for every family to enjoy.
02:20The four friends were treated like heroes.
02:23They showed that when we trust God, even the most unexpected people can save the day.
