SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:7
Y así se habían levantado y huido al principio de la noche, dejando sus tiendas, sus caballos, sus asnos, y el campamento como se estaba; y habían huido por salvar las vidas.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 7. Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight , etc.] Or in the dark, as the Targum; when the twilight was going off; so that the lepers came very quickly after they were gone, ( 2 Kings 7:5) and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses ; such was their fright, that they could not stay to loose their cattle, with which they might have made greater speed, but ran away on foot: and they left even the camp as it was ; took nothing away with them, either money or provisions: and fled for their life ; which they imagined to be in great danger.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 3-11 - God can, when he pleases, make the stoutest heart to tremble; and a for those who will not fear God, he can make them fear at the shakin of a leaf. Providence ordered it, that the lepers came as soon as the Syrians were fled. Their consciences told them that mischief woul befall them, if they took care of themselves only. Natural humanity and fear of punishment, are powerful checks on the selfishness of the ungodly. These feelings tend to preserve order and kindness in the world; but they who have found the unsearchable riches of Christ, wil not long delay to report the good tidings to others. From love to him not from selfish feelings, they will gladly share their earthly goo things with their brethren.
