12:006:033 And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messenger came
           down unto him:  and he said, Behold, this evil is of the lord;
           what should I wait for the lord any longer?

12:007:001 Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the lord; Thus saith the
           lord, To morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour
           be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel,
           in the gate of Samaria.

12:007:002 Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of
           God, and said, Behold, if the lord would make windows in
           heaven, might this thing be?  And he said, Behold, thou shalt
           see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

12:007:003 And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the
           gate:  and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we
           die?

12:007:004 If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in
           the city, and we shall die there:  and if we sit still here, we
           die also.  Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of
           the Syrians:  if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they
           kill us, we shall but die.

12:007:005 And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the
           Syrians:  and when they were come to the uttermost part of the
           camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there.

12:007:006 For the lord had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise
           of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great
           host:  and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel
           hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings
           of the Egyptians, to come upon us.

12:007:007 Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their
           tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it
           was, and fled for their life.

12:007:008 And when these lepers came to the uttermost part of the camp,
           they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried
           thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and
           came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence
           also, and went and hid it.

12:007:009 Then they said one to another, We do not well:  this day is a
           day of good tidings, and we hold our peace:  if we tarry till
           the morning light, some mischief will come upon us:  now
           therefore come, that we may go and tell the king’s household.

12:007:010 So they came and called unto the porter of the city:  and they
           told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and,
           behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but
           horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they were.
