2 Kings 7:12-14

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹² ¶ And the king arose in the night and said unto his slaves, I will now show you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry; therefore, they have gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall catch them alive and get into the city.

¹³ Then one of his slaves answered and said, Let some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city (for they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it; they are also as all the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed) and let us send and see.

¹⁴ They took, therefore, two chariot horses; and the king sent after the camp of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.
