2 Kings 7:12-14

New American Standard Bible

¹² Then the king got up in the night and said to his servants, “I will now tell you what the Arameans have done to us. They know that ^(A)we are hungry; so they have left the camp ^(B)to hide themselves in the field, saying, ‘When they come out of the city, we will capture them alive and get into the city.’” ¹³ One of his servants responded and said, “Please, have some men take five of the horses that remain, which are left ^[a]in the city. Behold, they will be in any case like all the multitude of Israel who are left in it; behold, they will be like all the multitude of Israel who have already perished, so let us send them and see.” ¹⁴ Therefore they took two chariots with horses, and the king sent them after the army of the Arameans, saying, “Go and see.”
