In the seventh chapter of 2 Kings, starting at the third verse, we find four lepers at the entrance of a city, where there was a great famine.
Since they were destined to die, they too wanted to enter the city where others were dying.
They arrived at a Syrian camp. They expected it to be full, but no one was there. They then heard the sound of chariots, under the awesome power of the Lord, and they fled. They ate food and drank at the empty camp. They even took the vast amounts of gold, silver, and clothing.
But they felt they were doing something wrong. So they went back to the city and told what they had found. The king of the city thought this was a trap, to lure them out so they could be ambushed. So he had two horsemen "go and see" for themselves.
They searched. And found no sign of the Syrians.
