2 Kings 7:10

So they came and called unto the porter of the city: and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, [there was] no man there, neither voice of man, but horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they [were].

So they came {H935} and called {H7121} unto the porter {H7778} of the city {H5892}: and they told {H5046} them, saying {H559}, We came {H935} to the camp {H4264} of the Syrians {H758}, and, behold, there was no man {H376} there, neither voice {H6963} of man {H120}, but horses {H5483} tied {H631}, and asses {H2543} tied {H631}, and the tents {H168} as they were.

So they came and shouted to the gatekeepers of the city and told them the news: "We went to the camp of Aram, and no one was there, no human voice - just the horses and donkeys tied up, and the tents left in place."

So they went and called out to the gatekeepers of the city, saying, “We went to the Aramean camp and no one was there—not a trace—only tethered horses and donkeys, and the tents were intact.”

So they came and called unto the porter of the city; and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but the horses tied, and the asses tied, and the tents as they were.
