Translations
The king got up in the middle of the night and said to his officials, 'Let me tell you what the Arameans are scheming. They know we're starving. They've pulled back and hidden themselves in the countryside thinking: When the Israelites come out, we seize them alive — and walk right into the city.'
The king rose in the night and said to his servants, 'I will tell you what the Arameans have done to us. They know we are starving, so they left the camp to hide in the open country, thinking, "When they come out of the city, we will seize them alive and get into the city."'
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.
So the king got up in the night and said to his servants, “Let me tell you what the Arameans have done to us. They know we are starving, so they have left the camp to hide in the field, thinking, ‘When they come out of the city, we will take them alive and enter the city.’”
