2 Reis 7:13

Listen to 2 Reis 7:13
13 Um de seus conselheiros respondeu: “Manda que alguns homens apanhem cinco dos cavalos que restam na cidade. O destino desses homens será o mesmo de todos os israelitas que ficarem, sim, como toda esta multidão condenada. Por isso vamos enviá-los para descobrir o que aconteceu”.

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 As sentinelas da porta proclamaram a notícia, e ela foi anunciada dentro do palácio.
12 O rei se levantou de noite e disse aos seus conselheiros: “Eu explicarei a vocês o que os arameus planejaram. Como sabem que estamos passando fome, deixaram o acampamento e se esconderam no campo, pensando: ‘Com certeza eles sairão, e então os pegaremos vivos e entraremos na cidade’.”
13 Um de seus conselheiros respondeu: “Manda que alguns homens apanhem cinco dos cavalos que restam na cidade. O destino desses homens será o mesmo de todos os israelitas que ficarem, sim, como toda esta multidão condenada. Por isso vamos enviá-los para descobrir o que aconteceu”.
14 Assim que prepararam dois carros de guerra com seus cavalos, o rei os enviou atrás do exército arameu, ordenando aos condutores: “Vão e descubram o que aconteceu”.
15 Eles seguiram as pegadas do exército até o Jordão e encontraram todo o caminho cheio de roupas e armas que os arameus haviam deixado para trás enquanto fugiam. Os mensageiros voltaram e relataram tudo ao rei.
