So they came and called unto the porter of the city: and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they were.

Verse 10 is found in chapter 7 of 2 Kings. The lepers realize that they cannot keep the news of deliverance to themselves. They return to Samaria and announce what happened, although the king initially suspects a trap. Scouts confirm the Syrians’ flight, and the people go out to collect the spoil. The word announced by Elisha is fulfilled literally: scarcity disappears and prices fall to the announced levels. The narrative emphasizes that deliverance does not depend on Israel’s military strength, but on a sovereign intervention by God that turns a situation of death into abundance.

Und da sie kamen, riefen sie am Tor der Stadt und sagten es ihnen an und sprachen: Wir sind zum Lager der Syrer gekommen, und siehe, es ist niemand da und keine Menschenstimme, sondern Rosse und Esel angebunden und die Hütten, wie sie stehen.
Y vinieron, y dieron voces a los guardas de la puerta de la ciudad, y declaráronles, diciendo: Nosotros fuimos al campo de los Siros, y he aquí que no había allí hombre, ni voz de hombre, sino caballos atados, asnos también atados, y el campo como se estaba.
Fueron, llamaron a los porteros de la ciudad y les informaron: «Llegamos al campamento de Aram y no había allí nadie, ni se oía voz humana. Solo había caballos atados, burros atados y las tiendas tal como estaban».
Ils partirent, et ils appelèrent les gardes de la porte de la ville, auxquels ils firent ce rapport: Nous sommes entrés dans le camp des Syriens, et voici, il n'y a personne, on n'y entend aucune voix d'homme; il n'y a que des chevaux attachés et des ânes attachés, et les tentes comme elles étaient.
Così vennero, e gridarono alle guardie della porta della città, e fecero loro assapere la cosa, dicendo: Noi siamo entrati nel campo dei Siri, ed ecco, non vi è alcuno, nè voce alcuna d’uomo; ma sol vi sono i cavalli, e gli asini legati, e i padiglioni, come erano prima.
Vieram, pois, e bradaram aos porteiros da cidade, e lhes anunciaram, dizendo: Fomos ao arraial dos sírios e eis que lá não havia ninguém, nem voz de homem, porém só cavalos atados, jumentos atados, e as tendas como estavam.
他們就去叫守城門的人,告訴他們說:「我們到了 亞蘭 人的軍營,看哪,沒有一人在那裏,也無人聲,只有拴著的馬和驢,帳棚都留在原處。」
