Verse 4

If we say{H559}{(H8804)}, We will enter{H935}{(H8799)} into the city{H5892}, then the famine{H7458} is in the city{H5892}, and we shall die{H4191}{(H8804)} there: and if we sit still{H3427}{(H8804)} here, we die{H4191}{(H8804)} also. Now therefore come{H3212}{(H8798)}, and let us fall{H5307}{(H8799)} unto the host{H4264} of the Syrians{H758}: if they save us alive{H2421}{(H8762)}, we shall live{H2421}{(H8799)}; and if they kill{H4191}{(H8686)} us, we shall but die{H4191}{(H8804)}.
