Gill's Notes on the Bible

And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate,....

and they said one to another, why sit we here until we die? being ready to perish with hunger.

x T. Bab. Sotah, fol. 47. 1. & Sanhedrin, fol. 107. 2.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The position of the lepers is in accordance with the Law of Moses (marginal references); and shows that the Law was still observed to some extent in the kingdom of Israel.
