2 Kings 7:12

וַיָּקָם הַמֶּלֶךְ לַיְלָה וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל ־ עֲבָדָיו אַגִּֽידָה ־ נָּא לָכֶם אֵת אֲשֶׁר ־ עָשׂוּ לָנוּ אֲרָם יָדְעוּ כִּי ־ רְעֵבִים אֲנַחְנוּ וַיֵּצְאוּ מִן ־ הַֽמַּחֲנֶה לְהֵחָבֵה בהשדה לֵאמֹר כִּֽי ־ יֵצְאוּ מִן ־ הָעִיר וְנִתְפְּשֵׂם חַיִּים וְאֶל ־ הָעִיר נָבֹֽא ׃

Hebrew Tanakh (Original)

In The King James Version

And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I will now shew you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we be hungry; therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall catch them alive, and get into the city.
