2 Kings 7:3-5

Living Bible

³ Now there were four lepers sitting outside the city gates. “Why sit here until we die?” they asked each other. ⁴ “We will starve if we stay here and we will starve if we go back into the city; so we might as well go out and surrender to the Syrian army. If they let us live, so much the better; but if they kill us, we would have died anyway.”

⁵ So that evening they went out to the camp of the Syrians, but there was no one there!
