2Ki 7:6-7 | MHM | STEP | v. 6-7 : The reason for the empty camp was that the L ORD had caused the Syrian army to hear the sound of chariots and horses, like a big army coming (2 Kings 7:6-7 ). The Syrians thought the king of Israel had hired other kings, like the Hittites and Egyptians, to attack them. They were so frightened that they ran away at night, leaving everything behind—even their horses and tents. God did this without anyone in Israel having to fight. This shows that God can control every sense—sight, hearing, and more—and use them for his own purposes (Exodus 4:11 ).

The Syrians thought the king of Israel had hired other kings, like the Hittites and Egyptians, to attack them. They were so frightened that they ran away at night, leaving everything behind—even their horses and tents. God did this without anyone in Israel having to fight.
