2 Kings 7:12
And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I will now shew you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we be hungry; therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall catch them alive, and get into the city.
This verse belongs to the siege of Samaria, when prolonged encirclement by the Syrian army had brought Israel into famine and great distress. God intervened by causing the Syrians to hear the sound of a great host advancing against them, and terrified by that imagined army they fled and abandoned their camp by night. Their flight relieved the besieged city, placing at its disposal the food and other supplies left behind in the deserted camp.
