And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I will now show you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry; therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and get into the city.

Then the king got up in the night and said to his servants, This is my idea of what the Aramaeans have done to us. They have knowledge that we are without food; and so they have gone out of their tents, and are waiting secretly in the open country, saying, When they come out of the town, we will take them living and get into the town.

Και σηκωθεις ο βασιλευς την νυκτα, ειπε προς τους δουλους αυτου, Τωρα θελω φανερωσει προς εσας τι εκαμον οι Συριοι εις ημας· εγνωρισαν οτι ειμεθα πεινασμενοι και εξηλθον εκ του στρατοπεδου, δια να κρυφθωσιν εν τοις αγροις, λεγοντες, Οταν εξελθωσιν εκ της πολεως, θελομεν συλλαβει αυτους ζωντας, και εις την πολιν θελομεν εισελθει.
