2Kings:7:3-8
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate :
and they said one to another ,
Why sit we here until we die ?
*
If we say ,
We will enter into the city ,
then the famine is in the city ,
and we shall die there :
and if we sit still here ,
we die also .
Now therefore come ,
and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians :
if they save us alive ,
we shall live ;
and if they kill us ,
we shall but die .
*
And they rose up in the twilight ,
to go unto the camp of the Syrians :
and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria ,
behold ,
there was no man there .
*
For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots ,
and a noise of horses ,
even the noise of a great host :
and they said one to another ,
Lo ,
the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites ,
and the kings of the Egyptians ,
to come upon us .
*
Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight ,
and left their tents ,
and their horses ,
and their asses ,
even the camp as it was ,
and fled for their life .
*
And when these lepers came to the uttermost part of the camp ,
they went into one tent ,
and did eat and drink ,
and carried thence silver ,
and gold ,
and raiment ,
and went and hid it ;
and came again ,
and entered into another tent ,
and carried thence also ,
and went and hid it .
