Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king's household.

Verse 9 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.
