2 Kings 7:9-11

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁹ Then they said to one another, “We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news; if we are silent and wait until the morning light, punishment will overtake us; now therefore come, let us go and tell the king’s household.” ¹⁰ So they came and called to the gatekeepers of the city, and told them, “We came to the camp of the Syrians, and behold, there was no one to be seen or heard there, nothing but the horses tied, and the asses tied, and the tents as they were.” ¹¹ Then the gatekeepers called out, and it was told within the king’s household.
