2 Mga Hari 7:4

Filipino Cebuano Bible

4 Kong kita umingon: Mosulod kita ngadto sa ciudad, nan ang gutom atua sa ciudad, ug kita mangamatay didto; ug kong kita manlingkod pa dinhi, mangamatay kita usab. Busa karon manlakat, ug mangadto kita ngadto sa panon sa mga Sirianhon: kong luwason kita nila nga buhi, mangabuhi kita; ug kong patyon kita nila, kita mangamatay lamang.

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.
