2 Kings 7:12-14

Revised Geneva Translation

¹² Then the king arose in the night and said to his servants, “I will now show you what the Aramites have done to us. They know that we are famished. 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 And one of his servants answered, and said, “Let me now take five of the horses that remain and are left in the city. Behold, they are either as all the multitude of Israel who are left in it, or they are as the multitude of the Israelites who are consumed. And we will send to see.”

¹⁴ So, they took two chariots of horses. And the king sent them after the army of the Aramites, saying, “Go and see.”
