Listen to 2 Reis 7:13
13 Então um dos seus servos respondeu, dizendo: Tomem-se, pois, cinco dos cavalos do resto que ficou aqui dentro (eis que eles estão como toda a multidão dos israelitas que ficaram aqui de resto, e que se vêm extenuando), e enviemo-los, e vejamos.

2 Reis 7:13 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 7:13

And one of his servants answered and said, let some take, I
pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city,
&c.] Not having died through the famine as the rest:

behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it;
behold, I say, they are even as the multitude of Israel that are
consumed;
signifying, there was a like consumption among the horses as among the people, and they that remained were starving as they were; so that should those horses, and the men, fall into the hands of the Syrians, and perish, it would be no great matter; the loss would not be much, since they must perish if they continue in the city: according to the Vulgate Latin version, these five horses were all that were left:

and let us send and see;
whether the report of the lepers is true or not.

2 Reis 7:13 In-Context

11 Assim chamaram os porteiros, e estes o anunciaram dentro da casa do rei.
12 E o rei se levantou de noite, e disse a seus servos: Eu vos direi o que é que os sírios nos fizeram. Bem sabem eles que estamos esfaimados; pelo que saíram do arraial para se esconderem no campo, dizendo: Quando saírem da cidade, então os tomaremos vivos, e entraremos na cidade.
13 Então um dos seus servos respondeu, dizendo: Tomem-se, pois, cinco dos cavalos do resto que ficou aqui dentro (eis que eles estão como toda a multidão dos israelitas que ficaram aqui de resto, e que se vêm extenuando), e enviemo-los, e vejamos.
14 Tomaram pois dois carros com cavalos; e o rei os enviou com mensageiros após o exército dos sírios, dizendo-lhe: Ide, e vede.
15 E foram após ele até o Jordão; e eis que todo o caminho estava cheio de roupas e de objetos que os sírios, na sua precipitação, tinham lançado fora; e voltaram os mensageiros, e o anunciaram ao rei.
