2 Kings 7:3-7

3Now there were fourH702 1leprousH6879 menH376 at the entranceH6607 of the gateH8179; and they saidH559 to oneH376 anotherH7453, “WhyH4100 are we sittingH3427 hereH6311 untilH5704 we dieH4191?

4IfH518 we sayH559, ‘We will enterH935 the cityH5892,’ then the famineH7458 is in the cityH5892 and we will dieH4191 thereH8033; but ifH518 we sitH3427 hereH6311, we will also dieH4191. NowH6258 then comeH1980, and let’s goH5307 overH5307 to 2the campH4264 of the ArameansH758. IfH518 they spareH2421 us, we will liveH2421; and ifH518 they killH4191 us, then we will dieH4191.”

5So they gotH6965 upH6965 at twilightH5399 to goH935 to the campH4264 of the ArameansH758; when they cameH935 to the outskirtsH7097 of the campH4264 of the ArameansH758, beholdH2009, thereH369 wasH369 noH369 oneH376 thereH8033.

6For 3the LordH136 had made the armyH4264 of the ArameansH758 hearH8085 a soundH6963 of chariotsH7393, a soundH6963 of horsesH5483, that is, the soundH6963 of a greatH1419 armyH2428; and they saidH559 to oneH376 anotherH251, “BeholdH2009, the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 has hiredH7936 4the kingsH4428 of the HittitesH2850 and 5the kingsH4428 of the EgyptiansH4714 againstH5921 us, to 6attackH935 us!”

7So they 7gotH6965 upH6965 and fledH5127 at twilightH5399, and abandonedH5800 their tentsH168, their horsesH5483, and their donkeysH2543--indeed the campH4264 itself, justH3512 asH3512 it was; and they fledH5127 for their livesH5315.
