# Elisha answered
Elisha was replying to the king of Israel's question.
# Would you kill those whom you had taken captive with your sword and bow?
Elisha uses this rhetorical question to rebuke the king and tell him not to kill these men. The words "sword and bow" are a metonym for war in which soldiers use swords and bows and arrows. This can be written as a statement. Alternate translation: "You would not kill men whom you had captured in war, so you should not kill these men." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
"You would not kill men whom you had captured in war, so you should not kill these men."
# Put bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink
Here "bread" refers to food in general. Alternate translation: "Give them food to eat and water to drink" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche]])
"Give them food to eat and water to drink"
# go to their master
