And he said0559, Behold, thou shalt see7200 {it} with thine eyes5869, but shalt not eat0398 thereof. 7:3 And there were four0702 leprous6879 men0582 at the entering in6607 of the gate8179: and they said0559 one0376 to another7453, Why sit3427 we here until we die4191? 7:4 If we say0559, We will enter0935 into the city5892, then the famine7458 {is} in the city5892, and we shall die4191 there: and if we sit still3427 here, we die4191 also. Now therefore come3212, and let us fall5307 unto the host4264 of the Syrians0758: if they save us alive2421, we shall live2421; and if they kill4191 us, we shall but die4191. 7:5 And they rose up6965 in the twilight5399, to go0935 unto the camp4264 of the Syrians0758: and when they were come0935 to the uttermost part7097 of the camp4264 of Syria0758, behold, {there was} no man0376 there. 7:6 For the Lord0136 had made the host4264 of the Syrians0758 to hear8085 a noise6963 of chariots7393, and a noise6963 of horses5483, {even} the noise6963 of a great1419 host2428: and they said0559 one0376 to another0251, Lo, the king4428 of Israel3478 hath hired7936 against us the kings4428 of the Hittites2850, and the kings4428 of the Egyptians4714, to come0935 upon us. 7:7 Wherefore they arose6965 and fled5127 in the twilight5399, and left5800 their tents0168, and their horses5483, and their asses2543, even the camp4264 as it {was}, and fled5127 for their life5315. 7:8 And when these lepers6879 came0935 to the uttermost part7097 of the camp4264, they went0935 into one0259 tent0168, and did eat0398 and drink8354, and carried5375 thence silver3701, and gold2091, and raiment0899, and went3212 and hid2934 {it}; and came again7725, and entered0935 into another0312 tent0168, and carried5375 thence {also}, and went3212 and hid2934 {it}. 7:9 Then they said0559 one0376 to another7453, We do6213 not well: this day3117 {is} a day3117 of good tidings1309, and we hold our peace2814: if we tarry2442 till the morning1242 light0216, some mischief5771 will come4672 upon us: now therefore come3212, that we may go0935 and tell5046 the king's4428 household1004. 7:10 So they came0935 and called7121 unto the porter7778 of the city5892: and they told5046 them, saying0559, We came0935 to the camp4264 of the Syrians0758, and, behold, {there was} no man0376 there, neither voice6963 of man0120, but horses5483 tied0631, and asses2543 tied0631, and the tents0168 as they {were}. 7:11 And he called7121 the porters7778; and they told5046 {it} to the king's4428 house1004 within6441. 7:12 And the king4428 arose6965 in the night3915, and said0559 unto his servants5650, I will now shew5046 you what the Syrians0758 have done6213 to us. They know3045 that we {be} hungry7457; therefore are they gone out3318 of the camp4264 to hide2247 themselves in the field7704, saying0559, When they come out3318 of the city5892, we shall catch8610 them alive2416, and get0935 into the city5892. 7:13 And one0259 of his servants5650 answered6030 and said0559, Let {some} take3947, I pray thee, five2568 of the horses5483 that remain7604, which are left7604 in the city, (behold, they {are} as all the multitude1995 of Israel3478 that are left7604 in it: behold, {I say}, they {are} even as all the multitude1995 of the Israelites3478 that are consumed8552:) and let us send7971 and see7200. 7:14 They took3947 therefore two8147 chariot7393 horses5483; and the king4428 sent7971 after0310 the host4264 of the Syrians0758, saying0559, Go3212 and see7200. 7:15 And they went3212 after0310 them unto Jordan3383: and, lo, all the way1870 {was} full4392 of garments0899 and vessels3627, which the Syrians0758 had cast away7993 in their haste2648. And the messengers4397 returned7725, and told5046 the king4428. 7:16 And the people5971 went out3318, and spoiled0962 the tents4264 of the Syrians0758. So a measure5429 of fine flour5560 was {sold} for a shekel8255, and two measures5429 of barley8184 for a shekel8255, according to the word1697 of the LORD3068. 7:17 And the king4428 appointed6485 the lord7991 on whose hand3027 he leaned8172 to have the charge of the gate8179: and the people5971 trode7429 upon him in the gate8179, and he died4191, as the man0376 of God0430 had said1696, who spake1696 when the king4428 came down3381 to him. 7:18 And it came to pass as the man0376 of God0430 had spoken1696 to the king4428, saying0559, Two measures5429 of barley8184 for a shekel8255, and a measure5429 of fine flour5560 for a shekel8255, shall be to morrow4279 about this time6256 in the gate8179 of Samaria8111: 7:19 And that lord7991 answered6030 the man0376 of God0430, and said0559, Now, behold, {if} the LORD3068 should make6213 windows0699 in heaven8064, might such a thing1697 be? And he said0559, Behold, thou shalt see7200 it with thine eyes5869, but shalt not eat0398 thereof. 7:20 And so it fell out unto him: for the people5971 trode7429 upon him in the gate8179, and he died4191.
