    6For the Lord had caused the Arameans to hear the sound of chariots, horses, and a great army, so they said to one another, "Look, the king of Israel has hired the Hittite and Egyptian kings to attack us!"

    7So they got up and fled in the twilight, abandoning their tents, horses, and donkeys. They left the camp as it was and ran for their lives.

    8The men with leprosy reached the edge of the camp, entered one of the tents, and ate and drank. Then they took silver, gold, and clothes and went off and hid them. They returned, entered another tent, took some things from it, and hid them also.

    9Then they said to each other, "What we’re doing is not right. This is a day of good news, and we are keeping it to ourselves. If we wait until daylight, punishment will overtake us. Let’s go and report this at the royal palace."

    10So they went and called out to the gatekeepers of the city, telling them, "We went to the Aramean camp and found no one there—not a single man—only tethered horses and donkeys, and the tents left just as they were."

    11The gatekeepers shouted the news, and it was reported inside the palace.

    12The king got up in the night and said to his servants, "I will tell you what the Arameans have done to us. They know we are hungry, so they have gone out of the camp to hide in the countryside, thinking, 'When they come out of the city, we will capture them alive and take the city.'"

    13One of his servants replied, "Let some men take five of the remaining horses that are left here. Their fate will be like that of all the Israelites who are left—yes, they will be like all the Israelites who have perished. Let us send them out to find out what has happened."

    14So they took two chariots with horses, and the king sent them after the Aramean camp, saying, "Go and see."

    15They followed them as far as the Jordan, and they found the whole way littered with clothes and equipment the Arameans had thrown away in their haste. So the messengers returned and reported to the king.

    16Then the people went out and plundered the camp of the Arameans. So a seah of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley were sold for a shekel, as the Lord had said.

    3Now there were four men with leprosy at the entrance of the gate. They said to each other, "Why should we sit here until we die?"

    4If we say, 'We’ll go into the city,' the famine is there, and we will die. And if we stay here, we will die. So let’s go over to the camp of the Arameans and surrender. If they spare us, we live; if they kill us, then we die."

    11The king of Aram became very upset about this. He called his servants and said to them, "Will you not tell me who among us is on the side of the king of Israel?"

    12One of his servants said, "No, my lord the king; Elisha, the prophet in Israel, tells the king of Israel the very words you speak in your bedroom."

    13So the king said, "Go and see where he is, so I can send men to capture him." When he was told, "He is in Dothan,"

    14So the king sent horses, chariots, and a large army there. They arrived at night and surrounded the city.

    15When the servant of the man of God got up early the next morning and went out, he saw an army with horses and chariots surrounding the city. He said, "Oh no, my master! What shall we do?"

    27The Israelites were also mustered and supplied with provisions. They went out to meet the Arameans and camped opposite them, appearing like two small flocks of goats, while the Arameans covered the countryside.

    28Then a man of God approached the king of Israel and said, "This is what the LORD says: Because the Arameans think that the LORD is a god of the hills and not a god of the valleys, I will deliver this vast army into your hands, and you will know that I am the LORD."

    29For seven days, the two armies camped opposite each other. On the seventh day, the battle began, and the Israelites struck down 100,000 Aramean foot soldiers in one day.

    30The rest of the Arameans fled to the city of Aphek, where a wall collapsed on 27,000 of them. Meanwhile, Ben-Hadad fled to the city and hid in an inner room.
