12

Then the king arose in the night and said to his servants, "I will now tell you what the Arameans have done to us.

13

One of his servants said, "Please, let some men take five of the horses which remain, which are left in the city. Behold, they will be in any case like all the multitude of Israel who are left in it; behold, they will be in any case like all the multitude of Israel who have already perished, so let us send and see."
