duh-MAS-kus
This place shows up in 2 Kings 8:7: “Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Syria was sick. He was told, “The man of God has come here.”” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
2 Kings 8:7
“Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Syria was sick. He was told, “The man of God has come here.””
What kids can learn
