6For the Lord had made the army of the Syrians ahear the sound of chariots and of horses, the sound of a great army, so that they said to one another, “Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us bthe kings of the Hittites and the kings of Egypt to come against us.” 7 cSo they fled away in the twilight and abandoned their tents, their horses, and their donkeys, leaving the camp as it was, and fled for their lives. 8And when these lepers came to the edge of the camp, they went into a tent and ate and drank, and they carried off silver and gold and clothing and went and hid them. Then they came back and entered another tent and carried off things from it and went and hid them.2 Kings 7:15

and the clefts of the cliffs,
from before the terror of the Lord,
and from the splendor of his majesty,
kwhen he rises to terrify the earth.
