2 Kings 7:10-12

Easy-to-Read Version

The Lepers Tell the Good News

¹⁰ So the lepers came and called to the gatekeepers of the city. They told the gatekeepers, “We went to the Aramean camp, but we did not hear anyone. No one was there, but the horses and donkeys were still tied up, and the tents were still standing.”

¹¹ Then the gatekeepers of the city shouted out and told the people in the king’s palace. ¹² It was night, but the king got up from bed and said to his officers, “I will tell you what the Aramean soldiers are doing to us. They know we are hungry. They left the camp to hide in the field. They are thinking, ‘When the Israelites come out of the city, we will capture them alive. And then we will enter the city.’”
