2 Kings 7:5 BBE

³  Now there were four lepers seated at the doorway into the town: and they said to one another, Why are we waiting here for death?

⁴  If we say, We will go into the town, there is no food in the town, and we will come to our end there; and if we go on waiting here, death will come to us. Come then, let us give ourselves up to the army of Aram: if they let us go on living, then life will be ours; and if they put us to death, then death will be ours.

⁵  So in the half light they got up to go to the tents of Aram; but when they came to the outer line of tents, there was no one there.

⁶  For the Lord had made the sound of carriages and horses, and the noise of a great army, come to the ears of the Aramaeans, so that they said to one another, Truly, the king of Israel has got the kings of the Hittites and of the Egyptians for a price to make an attack on us.

⁷  So they got up and went in flight, in the half light, without their tents or their horses or their asses or any of their goods; they went in flight, fearing for their lives.
