2 Kings 7:3-7
3Now there were fourH702 1leprousH6879 menH376 at the entranceH6607 of the gateH8179; and they saidH559 to oneH376 anotherH7453, “WhyH4100 do we sitH3427 hereH6311 untilH5704 we dieH4191?
4IfH518 we sayH559, ‘We will enterH935 the cityH5892,’ then the famineH7458 is in the cityH5892 and we will dieH4191 thereH8033; and ifH518 we sitH3427 hereH6311, we dieH4191 also. NowH6258 therefore comeH1980, and let us 2goH5307 overH5307 to 3the campH4264 of the ArameansH758. IfH518 they spareH2421 us, we will liveH2421; and ifH518 they killH4191 us, we will but dieH4191.”
5They aroseH6965 at twilightH5399 to goH935 to the campH4264 of the ArameansH758; when they cameH935 to the outskirtsH7097 of the campH4264 of the ArameansH758, beholdH2009, thereH369 was noH369 oneH376 thereH8033.
6For 4the LordH136 had caused the armyH4264 of the ArameansH758 to hearH8085 a soundH6963 of chariotsH7393 and a soundH6963 of horsesH5483, even the soundH6963 of a greatH1419 armyH2428, so that they saidH559 to oneH376 anotherH251, “BeholdH2009, the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 has hiredH7936 againstH5921 us 5the kingsH4428 of the HittitesH2850 and 6the kingsH4428 of the EgyptiansH4714, to comeH935 upon us.”
7Therefore they 7aroseH6965 and fledH5127 in the twilightH5399, and leftH5800 their tentsH168 and their horsesH5483 and their donkeysH2543, even the campH4264 justH3512 as it was, and fledH5127 for their lifeH5315.
