\\INTRODUCTION TO 2 KINGS 7\\ This chapter begins with a prophecy of great plenty in Samaria on the morrow, and of the death of an unbelieving lord, \\#2Ki 7:1,2\\, relates the case of four lepers, who that night went into the Syrian camp, which was deserted, occasioned by the noise of chariots, horses, and a host, which they fancied they heard, \\#2Ki 7:3-9\\, the report which the lepers made to the king's household of this affair, and the method the king's servants took to know the truth of it, \\#2Ki 7:10-15\\ which, when confirmed, the people went out and spoiled the tents of the Syrians, whereby the prophecy of plenty was fulfilled, \\#2Ki 7:16\\, and the unbelieving lord having post at the gate of the city assigned him, was trod to death, and so the prediction concerning him had its accomplishment also, \\#2Ki 7:17-20\\.
