Ils s'en allèrent donc, appelèrent les gardes des portes de la ville, et le leur annoncèrent, en disant: Nous sommes allés au camp des Syriens; et voici, il n'y a personne, et on n'y entend la voix d'aucun homme; mais il n'y a que des chevaux et des ânes attachés, et les tentes telles qu'elles étaient.
Ils partirent, et ils appelèrent les gardes de la porte de la ville, auxquels ils firent ce rapport: Nous sommes entrés dans le camp des Syriens, et voici, il n'y a personne, on n'y entend aucune voix d'homme; il n'y a que des chevaux attachés et des ânes attachés, et les tentes comme elles étaient.
Ils vinrent donc, et crièrent aux portiers de la ville, et leur firent entendre, en disant : Nous sommes entrés dans le camp des Syriens, et voilà, il n'y a personne, et on n'y entend la voix d'aucun homme; mais il y a seulement des chevaux attachés, et des ânes attachés, et les tentes sont comme elles étaient.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
So they came and called to the porter of the city,.... The chief of those that had the care of the gate of it; for there were more than one, as follows:
and they told them; the porter, and the watchmen with him:
we came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man; not one to be seen or heard:
but horses tied, and asses tied; to their mangers; the latter, as well as the former, were used for war, not only to carry burdens, but to fight upon, as Aelianus a relates of some people; and especially when there was a want of horses, as Strabo b; and both observe that this creature was sacrificed to Mars:
and the tents as they were; none of them struck, nor anything taken out of them.
a De Animal. l. 12. c. 34. b Geograph. l. 15. p. 500.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
They called unto the porter ... and told them - The word “porter” is used like our “guard” and the meaning here is, not that the lepers called to any particular individual, but that they roused the body of men who were keeping guard at one of the gates.
