2 Kings 7:7-16

7:7

Wherefore they arose
<06965> (8799)

and fled
<05127> (8799)

in the twilight
<05399>_,

and left
<05800> (8799)

their tents
<0168>_,

and their horses
<05483>_,

and their asses
<02543>_,

even the camp
<04264>

as it [was], and fled
<05127> (8799)

for their life
<05315>_.

7:8

And when these lepers
<06879> (8794)

came
<0935> (8799)

to the uttermost part
<07097>

of the camp
<04264>_,

they went
<0935> (8799)

into one
<0259>

tent
<0168>_,

and did eat
<0398> (8799)

and drink
<08354> (8799)_,

and carried
<05375> (8799)

thence silver
<03701>_,

and gold
<02091>_,

and raiment
<0899>_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

and hid
<02934> (8686)

[it]; and came again
<07725> (8799)_,

and entered
<0935> (8799)

into another
<0312>

tent
<0168>_,

and carried
<05375> (8799)

thence [also], and went
<03212> (8799)

and hid
<02934> (8686)

[it].

7:9

Then they said
<0559> (8799)

one
<0376>

to another
<07453>_,

We do
<06213> (8802)

not well: this day
<03117>

[is] a day
<03117>

of good tidings
<01309>_,

and we hold our peace
<02814> (8688)_:

if we tarry
<02442> (8765)

till the morning
<01242>

light
<0216>_,

some mischief
<05771>

will come
<04672> (8804)

upon us: now therefore come
<03212> (8798)_,

that we may go
<0935> (8799)

and tell
<05046> (8686)

the king's
<04428>

household
<01004>_.

{some...: Heb. we shall find punishment}

7:10

So they came
<0935> (8799)

and called
<07121> (8799)

unto the porter
<07778>

of the city
<05892>_:

and they told
<05046> (8686)

them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

We came
<0935> (8804)

to the camp
<04264>

of the Syrians
<0758>_,

and, behold, [there was] no man
<0376>

there, neither voice
<06963>

of man
<0120>_,

but horses
<05483>

tied
<0631> (8803)_,

and asses
<02543>

tied
<0631> (8803)_,

and the tents
<0168>

as they [were].

7:11

And he called
<07121> (8799)

the porters
<07778>_;

and they told
<05046> (8686)

[it] to the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>

within
<06441>_.

7:12

And the king
<04428>

arose
<06965> (8799)

in the night
<03915>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto his servants
<05650>_,

I will now shew
<05046> (8686)

you what the Syrians
<0758>

have done
<06213> (8804)

to us. They know
<03045> (8804)

that we [be] hungry
<07457>_;

therefore are they gone out
<03318> (8799)

of the camp
<04264>

to hide
<02247> (8736)

themselves in the field
<07704>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

When they come out
<03318> (8799)

of the city
<05892>_,

we shall catch
<08610> (8799)

them alive
<02416>_,

and get
<0935> (8799)

into the city
<05892>_.

7:13

And one
<0259>

of his servants
<05650>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let [some] take
<03947> (8799)_,

I pray thee, five
<02568>

of the horses
<05483>

that remain
<07604> (8737)_,

which are left
<07604> (8738)

in the city, (behold, they [are] as all the multitude
<01995>

of Israel
<03478>

that are left
<07604> (8738)

in it: behold, [I say], they [are] even as all the multitude
<01995>

of the Israelites
<03478>

that are consumed
<08552> (8804):)

and let us send
<07971> (8799)

and see
<07200> (8799)_.

{in the city: Heb. in it}

7:14

They took
<03947> (8799)

therefore two
<08147>

chariot
<07393>

horses
<05483>_;

and the king
<04428>

sent
<07971> (8799)

after
<0310>

the host
<04264>

of the Syrians
<0758>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

and see
<07200> (8798)_.

7:15

And they went
<03212> (8799)

after
<0310>

them unto Jordan
<03383>_:

and, lo, all the way
<01870>

[was] full
<04392>

of garments
<0899>

and vessels
<03627>_,

which the Syrians
<0758>

had cast away
<07993> (8689)

in their haste
<02648> (8800)_.

And the messengers
<04397>

returned
<07725> (8799)_,

and told
<05046> (8686)

the king
<04428>_.

7:16

And the people
<05971>

went out
<03318> (8799)_,

and spoiled
<0962> (8799)

the tents
<04264>

of the Syrians
<0758>_.

So a measure
<05429>

of fine flour
<05560>

was [sold] for a shekel
<08255>_,

and two measures
<05429>

of barley
<08184>

for a shekel
<08255>_,

according to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_.
