3 Now there were four men with leprosy (Leprosy) at the entrance of the city gate, and they said to one another, “Why just sit here until we die? 4 If we say, ‘Let us go into the city,’ we will die there from the famine in the city; but if we sit here, we will also die. So come now, let us go over to the camp of the Arameans (exalted). If they let us live, we will live; if they kill us, we will die.” 5 So they arose at twilight and went to the camp of the Arameans (exalted). But when they came to the outskirts of the camp, there was not a man to be found. 6 For the Lord {Adonai} had caused the Arameans (exalted) to hear the sound of chariots, horses, and a great army, so that they said to one another, “Look, the king of Israel (he wrestles with God) must have hired the kings of the Hittites and Egyptians (land of bondage) to attack us.” 7 Thus the Arameans had arisen and fled at twilight, abandoning their tents and horses and donkeys. The camp was intact, and they had run for their lives. 2 Kings 7:3-7, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
