2 Kings 7:3-8

3NowH1961 there were fourH702 leprousH6879 menH376 at the entering in of the gateH8179: and they saidH559 one to anotherH7453, WhyH4100 sitH3427 weH587 hereH6311 untilH5704 weH587 dieH4191?

4IfH518 weH518 sayH559, WeH518 will enterH935 intoH413 the cityH5892, then the famineH7458 is in the cityH5892, and weH518 shall dieH4191 there: and ifH518 weH518 sitH3427 stillH559 hereH6311, weH518 dieH4191 also. NowH6258 therefore comeH935, and letH6258 usH413 fallH5307 unto the hostH4264 of the Syrians: ifH518 they save usH413 aliveH2421, weH518 shall liveH3427; and ifH518 they killH4191 usH413, weH518 shall but dieH4191.

5And they roseH6965 upH6965 in the twilightH5399, to goH935 unto the campH4264 of the Syrians: and when they were comeH935 to the outermost part of the campH4264 of the Syrians, beholdH2009, there was noH369 manH376 there.

6For the LordH136 had madeH8085 the hostH4264 of the Syrians to hearH8085 a noiseH6963 of chariotsH7393, and a noiseH6963 of horsesH5483, evenH853 the noiseH6963 of a greatH1419 hostH4264: and they saidH559 one to anotherH251, LoH2009, the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 hath hiredH7936 againstH5921 usH413 the kingsH4428 of the HittitesH2850, and the kingsH4428 of the EgyptiansH4714, to comeH935 uponH5921 usH413.

7Wherefore they aroseH6965 and fledH5127 in the twilightH5399, and leftH5800 their tentsH168, and their horsesH5483, and their asses, evenH853 the campH4264 as it was, and fledH5127 for their lifeH5315.

8And when theseH428 lepersH6879 cameH935 to the outermost part of the campH4264, they wentH935 intoH413 one tentH168, and did eatH398 and drinkH8354, and carriedH5375 thence silverH3701, and goldH2091, and raiment, and wentH935 and hidH2934 it; and they cameH935 backH7725, and enteredH935 intoH413 anotherH312 tentH168, and carriedH5375 thence also, and wentH935 and hidH2934 it.
