2 Kings 7:10-12

New King James Version

¹⁰ So they went and called to the gatekeepers of the city, and told them, saying, “We went to the Syrian camp, and surprisingly no one was there, not a human sound—only horses and donkeys tied, and the tents intact.” ¹¹ And the gatekeepers called out, and they told it to the king’s household inside.

¹² So the king arose in the night and said to his servants, “Let me now tell you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are ^(A)hungry; therefore they have gone out of the camp to ^[a]hide themselves in the field, saying, ‘When they come out of the city, we shall catch them alive, and get into the city.’ ”
