2 Kings 7:3-5 ▼

3 At the city gate four lepers were asking one another, “Why should we sit here until we die?

4 If we decide to go into the city, we shall die there, for there is famine in the city. If we remain here, we shall die too. So come, let us desert to the camp of the Arameans. If they let us live, we live; if they kill us, we die.”

5 At twilight they left for the Arameans; but when they reached the edge of the camp, no one was there.
