Photograph is in a book with a description beneath ; printed description: "(II. Kings vi:17.)--'And Elisha prayed, and said,
Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw : and, behold,
the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.' The scene which is described in this picture was
at Dothan. Dothan lay upon the highway which the Ishmaelite merchants were compelled to travel, and it was during one of their
regular marches along this way that they bought Joseph from his brethren, as we are told in Genesis xxxvii: 17. Here we know
it was that the Lord opened the eyes of Elisha's young man, because when the King of Syria warred against Israel, he wanted
to know of the whereabouts of Elisha, the man of God. In the 13th verse of the 6th chapter of II. Kings we are told: 'And
he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold he is in Dothan.'" "Franklin
Co Eng-Chi" is printed at the bottom left of the photograph ; see 5090BAI/LVi8CAJS (Voyager # 356531)
