2 Kings 7:9-11

Expanded Bible

⁹ Then they said to each other, “We’re ·doing wrong [^Lnot doing right]. ·Today we have [This is a day of] good news, but we are ·silent [keeping it to ourselves; holding our tongues]. If we wait until the sun comes up, we’ll be ·discovered [punished; found guilty]. Let’s go right now and tell the people in the king’s ·palace [^Lhousehold].”

¹⁰ So they went and called to the gatekeepers of the city. They said, “We went to the Aramean camp, but no one is there; we didn’t hear anyone. The horses and donkeys were still tied up, and the tents ·were still standing [as they were].” ¹¹ Then the gatekeepers shouted out and told the ·people in the palace [^Lking’s household].
