THE MESSAGE
The gatekeepers got the word to the royal palace, giving them the whole story. Roused in the middle of the night, the king told his servants, "Let me tell you what Aram has done.

Contextual Overview
3 Now there were four men at the city gate with a bad skin disease. They said to one another, "Why do we sit here until we die? 4 If we go into the city, there is no food there and we will die. And if we sit here, we will die also. So now come, let us go over to the tents of the Syrians. If they do not kill us, we will live. And if they kill us, we will die there." 5 So they got up in the evening to go to the Syrians. When they came to the tents of the Syrians, there was no one there. 6 For the Lord had made the Syrian army hear a sound of war-wagons and horses and an army of many soldiers. So they said to one another, "The king of Israel has paid the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians to fight against us." 7 And they ran away in the evening. They left their tents and their horses and donkeys. They left everything just as it was, and ran for their lives. 8 Then the men with a bad skin disease came to the tents. They went into one tent and ate and drank. They carried away silver and gold and clothing, and hid them. Then they returned and went into another tent and carried things away from it, and hid them. 9 They said to one another, "We are not doing right. This is a day of good news, but we are keeping quiet. We will be punished if we wait until morning. So now let us go and tell those of the king's house." 10 And they came and called the men who watched the city gate. They said to them, "We went to the tents of the Syrians. But there was no one to be seen or heard there. Only the horses and donkeys were tied there. The tents were left just as they were." 11 So the men at the gate called out, and the news was heard in the king's house.
