SCRIPTURE

"Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?" — 2 Kings 7:3 (ASV)

The lepers' position was in accordance with the Law of Moses (as the marginal references indicate), and this shows that the Law was still observed to some extent in the kingdom of Israel.
