9Finally, they said to one another, “We are not doing what is right. Today is a day of good news. If we are silent and wait until morning light, our sin will overtake us. Now, therefore, let us go and tell the king’s household.”
10So they went and called out to the gatekeepers of the city, saying, “We went to the Aramean camp and no one was there — not a trace— only tethered horses and donkeys, and the tents were intact.”
11The gatekeepers shouted the news, and it was reported to the king’s household.
