So the king got up in the night and said to his servants, βLet me tell you what the Arameans have done to us. They know we are starving, so they have left the camp to hide in the field, thinking, βWhen they come out of the city, we will take them alive and enter the city.ββ
KJV
And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I will now shew you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we [be] 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 catch them alive, and get into the city.
