2 Kings 7:12-15

12And the kingH4428 aroseH6965 in the nightH3915, and saidH559 unto his servantsH5650, I will now shewH5046 you what the SyriansH758 have doneH6213 to us. They knowH3045 that we be hungryH7457; therefore are they gone outH3318 of the campH4264 to hideH2247 themselves in the fieldH7704, sayingH559, When they come outH3318 of the cityH5892, we shall catchH8610 them aliveH2416, and getH935 into the cityH5892. 13And oneH259 of his servantsH5650 answeredH6030 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, I say, they are even as all the multitudeH1995 of the IsraelitesH3478 that are consumedH8552:) and let us sendH7971 and seeH7200.1 14They tookH3947 therefore twoH8147 chariotH7393 horsesH5483; and the kingH4428 sentH7971 afterH310 the hostH4264 of the SyriansH758, sayingH559, GoH3212 and seeH7200. 15And they wentH3212 afterH310 them unto JordanH3383: and, lo, all the wayH1870 was fullH4392 of garmentsH899 and vesselsH3627, which the SyriansH758 had cast awayH7993 in their hasteH2648. And the messengersH4397 returnedH7725, and toldH5046 the kingH4428.
