2 Kings 7:3-11

³ And four men have been leprous, at the opening of the gate, and they say one unto another, 'What—we are sitting here till we have died; ⁴ if we have said, We go in to the city, then the famine 'is' in the city, and we have died there; and if we have sat here, then we have died; and now, come and we fall unto the camp of Aram; if they keep us alive, we live, and if they put us to death—we have died.' ⁵ And they rise in the twilight, to go in unto the camp of Aram, and they come in unto the extremity of the camp of Aram, and lo, there is not a man there, ⁶ seeing Jehovah hath caused the camp of Aram to hear a noise of chariot and a noise of horse—a noise of great force, and they say one unto another, 'Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Egypt, to come against us.' ⁷ And they rise and flee in the twilight, and forsake their tents, and their horses, and their asses—the camp as it 'is'—and flee for their life. ⁸ And these lepers come in unto the extremity of the camp, and come in unto one tent, and eat, and drink, and lift up thence silver, and gold, and garments, and go and hide; and they turn back and go in unto another tent, and lift up thence, and go and hide. ⁹ And they say one unto another, 'We are not doing right this day; a day of tidings it 'is', and we are keeping silent; and—we have waited till the light of the morning, then hath punishment found us; and now, come and we go in and declare to the house of the king.' ¹⁰ And they come in, and call unto the gatekeeper of the city, and declare for themselves, saying, 'We have come in unto the camp of Aram, and lo, there is not there a man, or sound of man, but the bound horse, and the bound ass, and tents as they 'are'.' ¹¹ and he calleth the gatekeepers, and they declare to the house of the king within.
