2 Kings 7:13-15

Good News Translation

¹³ One of his officials said, “The people here in the city are doomed anyway, like those that have already died. So let's send some men with five of the horses that are left, so that we can find out what has happened.”^{[a] 14} They chose some men, and the king sent them in two chariots with instructions to go and find out what had happened to the Syrian army. ¹⁵ The men went as far as the Jordan, and all along the road they saw the clothes and equipment that the Syrians had abandoned as they fled. Then they returned and reported to the king.
