2 Kings 7:3-5

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³ Now four men who were lepers were at the entrance of the city’s gate; and they said to one another, Why do we sit here until we die?

⁴ If we say, We will enter the city—then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there; and if we sit still here, we die also. So now come, let us go over to the army of the Syrians. If they spare us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.

⁵ So they arose in the twilight and went to the Syrian camp. But when they came to the edge of the camp, no man was there.
