2 Reis 7:9 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 7:9

Then they said one to another, we do not well
This is not right, to take this booty to ourselves; it is not doing justice to our brethren, and it may not prove well to ourselves in the issue:

this day is a day of good tidings;
to be delivered from the enemy, and have such plenty of provisions thrown into their hands; it would be joyful tidings to the inhabitants of the city, did they know it:

and we hold our peace;
and do not publish this good tidings, that others may share the benefit of it:

if we tarry till the morning light;
when it will in course be discovered:

some mischief will come upon us;
either from the Syrians, who they might fear would return by that time, or some of them lurking about would fall upon them and destroy them; or the king of Israel, when he came to know it, would be so incensed as to inflict some punishment on them; or they might expect some evil from the immediate hand of God:

now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king's household;
acquaint some of his servants with what had happened.

2 Reis 7:9 In-Context

7 EntĂŁo, para salvar sua vida, fugiram ao anoitecer, abandonando tendas, cavalos e jumentos, deixando o acampamento como estava.
8 Tendo chegado às imediações do acampamento, os leprosos entraram numa das tendas. Comeram e beberam, pegaram prata, ouro e roupas e saíram para esconder tudo. Depois voltaram e entraram noutra tenda, pegaram o que quiseram e esconderam isso também.
9 Então disseram uns aos outros: “Não estamos agindo certo. Este é um dia de boas notícias, e não podemos ficar calados. Se esperarmos até o amanhecer, seremos castigados. Vamos imediatamente contar tudo no palácio do rei”.
10 Então foram, chamaram as sentinelas da porta da cidade e lhes contaram: “Entramos no acampamento arameu e não vimos nem ouvimos ninguém. Havia apenas cavalos e jumentos amarrados, e tendas abandonadas”.
11 As sentinelas da porta proclamaram a notícia, e ela foi anunciada dentro do palácio.
