2 KINGS 7:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it: behold, I say, they are even as all the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed:) and let us send and see.”
The king rises at night and says to his servants: "I will tell you what the Arameans have done. They know that we are hungry, so they have left the camp to hide themselves in the open country, thinking, 'When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive and get into the city.'" — the king's paranoid interpretation misreads deliverance as deception. Fear makes him doubt good news.
