2 Kings 7:12-14
Common English Bible

They are thinking, The Israelites will come out from the city, and then we’ll capture them alive and invade the city.”
13 But one of his servants answered, “Please let some men take five of the horses that are left, and let’s send them out to see what happens. They are in the same situation as the large number of Israelites who are left here; they are no better off than the large number of Israelites who’ve already perished.”[a] 14 So they chose two chariots with their horses.
The king sent them after the Aramean army, saying, “Go and see!”
