Verse 4

If we say,{H559} We will enter{H935} into the city,{H5892} then the famine{H7458} is in the city,{H5892} and we shall die{H4191} there; and if we sit still{H3427} here, we die{H4191} also. Now therefore come,{H3212} and let us fall{H5307} unto the host{H4264} of the Syrians:{H758} if they save us alive,{H2421} we shall live;{H2421} and if they kill{H4191} us, we shall but die.{H4191}
