later kg ben-hadad of aram mustered his army&besieged sam resulting n a great famine n the city. The siege lasted so long a donkeyshead cost80 shekels&a cup of birdpoop cost5shekels. 1day the kg of isr was walking along the citywall&a lady called2him: please help me o kg! He said, if the L doesnt help u wat can I do? Ive neither grain/wine2give u. But the kg asked: wats the matter? She replied: this lady said2me: lets eat ur s 2day&my s tom so we cooked/ate my s&the next day I said, kill ur s so we can eat him but she hid him. Hearing this the kg tore his clothes&as he walked along the wall the pep could c he was wearing burlap under his robe. MayG strike me &kill me if I dont kill elisha2day the kg vowed. Elisha was sitting n his house wth Isr elders when the kg sent a messenger2summon him. But b4 the messenger arrived elisha said, a murderer has sent a man2 kill me. When he arrives shut the door/keep him out/soon his master will come2. While elisha was speaking the messenger arrived&the kg said, all this misery is from the L! Why should I wait4the L any longer? Elisha replied, listen2the Ls wds: n24hrs n the markets of sam, 6qts of flour will cost1shekel&12quarts of barley will cost1shekel. The kgs asst said2elisha, that couldnt happen even if the L opened the windows of heaven! But elisha replied ull c it happen but u wont eat any of it! Now there were4lepers sitting@the citygate saying why should we sit here&wait2die? We’ll starve if we sit here&starve if we return 2the city. So lets go&surrender2the aram army. If they let us live good&if not we die either way. So@twilight they set out4the aram camp. But when they arrived no1was there4the L had caused the aram army2hear the sound of chariots/horses/great army. The kg of Isr has hired the hittites/egyptians2 attack us they cried. So they panicked&fled n2the nite abandoning their tents/animals/supplies. When the4lepers arrived@the camp they went n2tent after tent eating/drinking/carrying off silver/gold/clothing&hiding it. Finally they said2each other: this is wrong. This is a day of goodnews&we arent sharing it! If we wait till am, something bad will happen2us. Lets go nform the palace. So they went back&told the gatekeepers the news. We went2the aram camp&it was empty! The animals were tethered&the tents were all setup but no1was there! Then the gatekeepers shouted the news2the palace. Hearing the news the kg said, the arameans know we r starving so they have left their camp&hidden n the fields. They r expecting us2leave the city&then theyll capture us&the city. 1of his officers replied, we better send scouts2check n2this.
