2 Kings 7:9 in Context — 2 Kings 7
7 E assim se haviam levantado e fugido ao princípio da noite, deixando suas tendas, seus cavalos, seus asnos, e o campo como se estava; e haviam fugido por salvar as vidas.
8 E quando os leprosos chegaram aos primeiros abrigos, entraram-se em uma tenda, e comeram e beberam, e tomaram dali prata, e ouro, e vestido, e foram, e esconderam-no: e voltados, entraram em outra tenda, e dali também tomaram, e foram, e esconderam.
9 E disseram-se o um ao outro: Não fazemos bem: hoje é dia de boa nova, e nós calamos: e se esperamos até a luz da manhã, nos alcançará a maldade. Vamos pois agora, entremos, e demos a nova em casa do rei.
10 E vieram, e deram vozes aos guardas da porta da cidade, e declararam-lhes, dizendo: Nós fomos ao campo dos sírios, e eis que não havia ali homem, nem voz de homem, a não ser cavalos atados, asnos também atados, e o campo como se estava.
11 E os porteiros deram vozes, e declararam-no dentro, no palácio do rei.
