La Bibbia di Giovanni Diodati

2 Re 7:4

Se diciamo di entrare nella città, la fame vi è, e noi vi morremo; se stiamo qui, morremo altresì; ora dunque venite, e andiamoci ad arrendere al campo de’ Siri; se ci lasciano in vita, viveremo; e se pur ci fanno morire, morremo.

La Nuova Diodati
Se diciamo: "Entriamo in citt", in citt c la fame e vi moriremo; se restiamo qui, moriremo ugualmente. Or dunque venite, andiamo a presentarci nellaccampamento dei Siri; se ci lasceranno vivere, vivremo; se ci daranno la morte, moriremo".
Riveduta Bibbia
Se diciamo: Entriamo in città in città c’è la fame, e noi vi morremo; se restiamo qui, morremo lo stesso. Or dunque venite, andiamoci a buttare nel campo dei Siri; se ci lascian vivere, vivremo; se ci dànno la morte, morremo".

Bible Verse Review

we will enter: Jeremiah 14:18

let us fall: 1 Chronicles 12:19, Jeremiah 37:13, Jeremiah 37:14

if they save us: Esther 4:16, Jeremiah 8:14, Jonah 3:9, Luke 15:17-19

we shall but die: 2 Samuel 14:14, Hebrews 9:27

Reciprocal: Genesis 43:8 - that we 1 Kings 20:31 - peradventure 2 Kings 6:25 - a great famine 2 Kings 7:3 - Why 2 Kings 7:13 - they are even 1 Chronicles 21:13 - I am in Matthew 8:2 - a leper Luke 15:18 - will arise

Gill's Notes on the Bible

If we say we will enter into the city,.... Contrary to the law which forbid them:

then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there; not being able to obtain food to preserve life:

and if we sit here, we die also; having nothing to eat to support nature:

now therefore let us come, and fall unto the host of the Syrians; put ourselves into their hands, and lie at their mercy:

if they save us alive, we shall live; if they do not put us to death, but give us bread to eat, our lives will be preserved:

and if they kill us, we shall but die; which we must inevitably do, whether we stay here, or go into the city.
