2: So answeredH6030 an officerH7991 whoseH0834 the kingH4428 leanedH8172 onH5921 whose handH3027 -H0853 the manH0376 of God,H0430 and said,H0559 Look,H2009 YahwehH3068 [if] would makeH6213 windowsH0699 in heaven,H8064 could be?H1961 thingH1697 thisH2088 and he said,H0559 in factH2005 you shall see [it]H7200 with your eyes,H5869 but of it.H8033 NotH3808 you shall eat.H0398

3: Now fourH0702 menH0376 there wereH1961 leprousH6879 at the entranceH6607 of the gate-H8179 and they saidH0559 oneH0376 toH0413 another,H7453 [For] whatH4100 weH0587 are sittingH3427 hereH6311 untilH5704 we die?H4191

5: And they roseH6965 at twilight,H5399 to goH0935 toH0413 the campH4264 of Syria-H0758 and when they had comeH0935 toH5704 the outskirtsH7097 of the campH4264 of Syria,H0758 and to their surprise,H2009 noH0369 thereH8033 one [was].H0376

6: For YahwehH0136 had caused to hearH8085 -H0853 the armyH4264 of SyriaH0758 the noiseH6963 of chariots,H7393 and the noiseH6963 of horses,H5483 the noiseH6963 of a army,H2428 greatH1419 so they saidH0559 oneH0376 toH0413 another,H0251 Look,H2009 has hiredH7936 against usH5921 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 -H0853 the kingsH4428 of the Hittites,H2850 andH0853 the kingsH4428 of Egypt,H4714 to attackH0935 us.H5921

7: Therefore they aroseH6965 and fledH5127 at twilight,H5399 and leftH5800 -H0853 their tents,H0168 andH0853 their horses,H5483 andH0853 their donkeys,H2543 the campH4264 just asH0834 it [was]H1931 and they fledH5127 forH0413 their lives.H5315

8: And when cameH0935 lepersH6879 theseH0428 toH5704 the outskirtsH7097 of the camp,H4264 and they wentH0935 intoH0413 tent,H0168 oneH0259 and ateH0398 and drank,H8354 and carriedH5375 from itH8033 silver,H3701 and gold,H2091 and clothing,H0899 and wentH1980 and hid [them]H2934 then they came back,H7725 and enteredH0935 intoH0413 tent,H0168 anotherH0312 and [also] carried [some]H5375 from thereH8033 and wentH1980 and hid [it].H2934

9: And they saidH0559 oneH0376 toH0413 another,H7453 notH3808 right-H3651 weH0587 are doingH6213 dayH3117 thisH2088 a dayH3117 of good news,H1309 isH1931 and weH0587 remain silent-H2814 and if we waitH2442 untilH5704 light,H0216 morningH1242 and will come upon usH4672 some punishmentH5771 now thereforeH6258 come,H1980 and let us goH0935 and tellH5046 householdH1004 of the king.H4428

10: So they wentH0935 and calledH7121 toH0413 the gatekeepersH7778 of the city,H5892 and toldH5046 themH1992 saying,H0559 we wentH0935 toH0413 the campH4264 of Syria,H0758 and surprisingly,H2009 noH0369 there,H8033 one [was]H0376 and soundH6963 not a human,H0120 forH3588 onlyH0518 horsesH5483 tied,H0631 and donkeysH2543 tied,H0631 and the tentsH0168 just asH0834 they [were].H1992

11: And called outH7121 the gatekeepers-H7778 and they told [it]H5046 householdH1004 of to the kingH4428 inside.H6441

12: So aroseH6965 the kingH4428 in the night,H3915 and saidH0559 toH0413 his servants,H5650 let me tellH5046 nowH4994 -H0853 whatH0834 have doneH6213 SyriaH0758 they knowH3045 thatH3588 hungry-H7457 we [are]H0587 therefore they have goneH3318 outH4480 of the campH4264 to hide themselvesH2247 in the field,H7704 saying,H0559 whenH3588 they come outH3318 ofH4480 the city,H5892 and we shall catch themH8610 alive,H2416 and intoH0413 the cityH5892 get.H0935

13: And answeredH6030 oneH0259 of his servantsH5650 and said,H0559 and let several [men] take,H3947 please,H4994 fiveH2568 ofH4480 the horsesH5483 remaining,H7604 whichH0834 are leftH7604 Look they [may either become],H2009 like allH3605 the multitude ofH1995 IsraelH3478 thatH0834 are leftH7604 or indeed [I say] they [may become]H2005 like allH3605 the multitudeH1995 of the IsraelH3478 left from those whoH0834 are consumedH8552 so let us send themH7971 and see.H7200

14: Therefore they tookH3947 twoH8147 chariots withH7393 horses-H5483 and sent themH7971 the kingH4428 in the directionH0310 of armyH4264 of Syria,H0758 saying,H0559 goH1980 and see.H7200

15: And they wentH1980 after themH0310 toH5704 the Jordan,H3383 and indeed,H2009 all [was]H3605 the roadH1870 fullH4392 of garmentsH0899 and weapons,H3627 whichH0834 had thrown awayH7993 SyriaH0758 in their haste.H2648 So returned,H7725 the messengersH4397 and toldH5046 the king.H4428

16: And went out,H3318 the peopleH5971 and plunderedH0962 -H0853 the tentsH4264 of Syria.H0758 So wasH1961 a seahH5429 of fine flour [sold]H5560 for a shekel,H8255 and two seahsH5429 of barleyH8184 for a shekel,H8255 according to the wordH1697 of Yahweh.H3068

17: Now the kingH4428 had appointedH6485 -H0853 the officerH7991 whoseH0834 he leanedH8172 onH5921 whose handH3027 have chargeH5921 of the gate-H8179 but trampled himH7429 the peopleH5971 in the gate,H8179 and he died,H4191 just asH0834 had said,H1696 the manH0376 of GodH0430 whoH0834 spokeH1696 when came downH3381 the kingH4428 to him.H0413

18: So it came to passH1961 just as had spokenH1696 the manH0376 of GodH0430 toH0413 the king,H4428 saying,H0559 two seahsH5429 of barleyH8184 for a shekel,H8255 and a seahH5429 of fine flourH5560 for a shekel,H8255 shall be [sold]H1961 about this timeH6256 tomorrowH4279 in the gateH8179 of Samaria.H8111

19: And had answeredH6030 that officerH7991 -H0853 the manH0376 of God,H0430 and said,H0559 and look,H2009 YahwehH3068 [if] would makeH6213 windowsH0699 in heaven,H8064 could be?H1961 like thingH1697 thisH2088 and he had said,H0559 in factH2005 you shall see [it]H7200 with your eyes,H5869 but of itH8033 notH3808 you shall eat.H0398

20: And so it came to passH1961 forH3651 and trampledH7429 himH0853 the peopleH5971 in the gate,H8179 and he died.H4191
