Mereka pergi, lalu berseru kepada penunggu pintu gerbang kota dan menceritakan kepada orang-orang itu, katanya: "Kami sudah masuk ke tempat perkemahan orang Aram, dan ternyata tidak ada orang di sana, dan tidak ada suara manusia kedengaran, hanya ada kuda dan keledai tertambat dan kemah-kemah ditinggalkan dengan begitu saja."
Arakian, maka datanglah mereka itu berseru-seru kepada penunggu pintu negeri, dikabarkannyalah kepadanya, katanya: Bahwa kami telah sampai kepada tempat tentara orang Syam itu, heran, maka seorangpun tiada di sana, bunyi suara orangpun tiada, melainkan adalah beberapa ekor kuda tertambat dan beberapa ekor keledaipun tertambat dan segala kemahpun tertinggal sebagaimana adanya.

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.
