2 Reyes 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,

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:

14 De inmediato los hombres tomaron dos carros con caballos, y el rey los mandó al campamento del ejército sirio, con instrucciones de que investigaran.
15 Llegaron hasta el Jordán y vieron que todo el camino estaba lleno de ropa y de objetos que los sirios habían arrojado al huir precipitadamente. De modo que regresaron los mensajeros e informaron al rey,
