Chapter 7

The King's messenger shows up. Elisha tells them that there will be food and plenty the next day.  Lepers go to beg food from Syria since they are starving at the gate of Samaria.  They find the camp abandoned, and eat and drink their fill and take some loot and go and hide it.  Then they tell the King, who thinks it is a Syrian ruse to entice them out of the city.  But scouts sent to check find that the Syrians are indeed gone.  The city residents plunder the Syrian camp, and find food and plenty there.
