2 Kings 7:12-15

12And the kingH4428 aroseH6965 in the nightH3915, and saidH559 unto his servantsH5650, I will now show you what the Syrians have done to us. They knowH3045 that we are hungryH7457; therefore are they goneH3318 out of the campH4264 to hideH2247 themselves in the fieldH7704, sayingH559, When they comeH935 out of the cityH5892, we shall take them aliveH2416, and get into the cityH5892. 13And oneH259 of his servantsH5650 answered and saidH559, Let some takeH3947, I pray thee, fiveH2568 of the horsesH5483 that remainH7604, which are leftH7604 in the city (behold, they are as all the multitudeH1995 of IsraelH3478 that are leftH7604 in it; behold, they are as all the multitudeH1995 of IsraelH3478 that are consumed); and let us sendH7971 and seeH7200. 14They tookH3947 therefore twoH8147 chariotsH7393 with horsesH5483; and the kingH4428 sentH7971 after the host of the Syrians, sayingH559, GoH7971 and seeH7200. 15And they wentH7725 after them unto the JordanH3383: and, lo, all the wayH1870 was fullH4392 of garmentsH899 and vesselsH3627, which the Syrians had castH7993 awayH7725 in their haste. And the messengersH4397 returnedH7725, and toldH5046 the kingH4428.
