And when these lepers came to the uttermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it.

Verse 8 is found in chapter 7 of 2 Kings. Four leprous men, excluded from the city, decide to go to the Syrian camp because they have no other option. There they discover that the enemy army has disappeared, for God had caused a sound that prompted their flight. The situation is completely reversed: those who were marginalized and desperate are the first to find the resources needed by the entire city. The account shows how providence can work through socially insignificant people and how the fear of enemies can produce a deliverance that no Israelite army could have achieved by its own strength.

Als nun die Aussätzigen an den Ort kamen, gingen sie in der Hütten eine, aßen und tranken und nahmen Silber, Gold und Kleider und gingen hin und verbargen es und kamen wieder und gingen in eine andere Hütte und nahmen daraus und gingen hin und verbargen es.
Y como los leprosos llegaron a las primeras estancias, entráronse en una tienda, y comieron y bebieron, y tomaron de allí plata, y oro, y vestido, y fueron, y escondiéronlo: y vueltos, entraron en otra tienda, y de allí también tomaron, y fueron, y escondieron.
Cuando aquellos leprosos llegaron a las afueras del campamento, entraron en una tienda, comieron y bebieron. Se llevaron de allí plata, oro y ropa, y fueron a esconderlo. Regresaron, entraron en otra tienda, se llevaron cosas de allí y fueron a esconderlas.
Les lépreux, étant arrivés à l'entrée du camp, pénétrèrent dans une tente, mangèrent et burent, et en emportèrent de l'argent, de l'or, et des vêtements, qu'ils allèrent cacher. Ils revinrent, pénétrèrent dans une autre tente, et en emportèrent des objets qu'ils allèrent cacher.
Que’ lebbrosi adunque, venuti fino allo stremo del campo, entrarono in una tenda, e mangiarono, e bevvero, e tolsero di là argento, ed oro, e vestimenti, e andarono, e nascosero quelle cose; poi tornarono, ed entrarono in un’altra tenda, e tolsero ancora di là di quelle stesse cose, e andarono, e le nascosero.
Chegando, pois, estes leprosos à entrada do arraial, entraram numa tenda, e comeram, beberam e tomaram dali prata, ouro e roupas, e foram e os esconderam; então voltaram, e entraram em outra tenda, e dali também tomaram alguma coisa e a esconderam.
那些長痲瘋的人到了營邊,進了一座帳棚,吃了喝了,從當中拿走金銀和衣服,收藏起來。他們又回來,進了另一座帳棚,從當中拿走財物去收藏。
