2 Kings 7: Four Lepers Find the Camp Deserted

Elisha announces that the famine in Samaria will end by the next day, and an officer who mocks the promise is told he will see it but not eat. Four lepers find the Aramean camp abandoned, since the Lord made the army flee at a sound of attack. Food becomes cheap, and the officer is trampled at the gate.
