# when he saw them

"when he saw the Aramean soldiers"

# My father

The king is speaking to Elisha the prophet and calling him "father" to show respect.

# should I kill them? Should I kill them?

Here the king of Israel is referring to his army as himself. Alternate translation: "Should I order my army to kill these enemy soldiers?" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
