Lepers Report the Arameans’ Flight

³ Now there were four ^(A)leprous men at the entrance of the gate; and they said to one another, “Why do we sit here until we die? ⁴ If we say, ‘We will enter the city,’ then the famine is in the city and we will die there; and if we sit here, we die also. So now come, and let us ^[a]go over to ^(B)the camp of the Arameans. If they spare us, we will live; and if they put us to death, we will die.” ⁵ So they arose at twilight to go to the camp of the Arameans. Then they came to the outskirts of the camp of the Arameans, but behold, there was no one there.
