Four of us with leprosy, sitting outside the city gate. Options. Go into the city: famine, we die. Stay here: we die. Go over to the Aramean camp: if they spare us, we live. If they kill us, well, we die.

Got to the edge of their camp at dusk. Nobody. Not one man. Went into a tent, ate, drank, carried off silver and gold and clothes and hid them. Then another tent.

Then we looked at each other: this isn’t right. Today’s a day of good news and we’re sitting on it. If we wait till morning, we’ll be in trouble. So we went and shouted it up to the gatekeepers.
