2 Kings 7:7-15
7Wherefore they aroseH6965 and fledH5127 in the twilightH5399, and leftH5800 their tentsH168, and their horsesH5483, and their donkeysH2543, even the campH4264 as it was, and fledH5127 for their lifeH5315. 8And when these lepersH6879 cameH935 to the uttermost partH7097 of the campH4264, they wentH935 into oneH259 tentH168, and did eatH398 and drinkH8354, and carriedH5375 thence silverH3701, and goldH2091, and raimentH899, and wentH3212 and hidH2934 it; and came againH7725, and enteredH935 into anotherH312 tentH168, and carriedH5375 thence also, and wentH3212 and hidH2934 it. 9Then they saidH559 oneH376 to anotherH7453, We doH6213 not well: this dayH3117 is a dayH3117 of good tidingsH1309, and we hold our peaceH2814: if we tarryH2442 till the morningH1242 lightH216, some mischiefH5771 will comeH4672 upon us: now therefore comeH3212, that we may goH935 and tellH5046 the king’sH4428 householdH1004.1 10So they cameH935 and calledH7121 unto the porterH7778 of the cityH5892: and they toldH5046 them, sayingH559, We cameH935 to the campH4264 of the SyriansH758, and, behold, there was no manH376 there, neither voiceH6963 of manH120, but horsesH5483 tiedH631, and donkeysH2543 tiedH631, and the tentsH168 as they were. 11And he calledH7121 the portersH7778; and they toldH5046 it to the king’sH4428 houseH1004 withinH6441.
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 seeH7200.2 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.
