2Ki 7:3 | MHM | STEP | The Siege of Samaria Raised This section tells how God miraculously saved Samaria from the Syrian army. The rescue did not come through battle or human strength, but by God’s power alone. God used an unexpected way to bring deliverance, showing that He can work through anyone—even four lepers. This story reminds us that God can change any situation, even when hope seems lost. v. 3-4 : Four men with leprosy were living outside the gate of Samaria because they were considered unclean (2 Kings 7:3 ). They talked with each other and realized that if they stayed where they were, they would die of hunger. If they went into the city, they would die too, because there was no food. So they decided to go to the camp of the Syrians, hoping the enemy might spare them. They said, " If they kill us, we shall but die ." They thought it was better to try something, even if it was risky, than just to give up and die.
