Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Kings 7:8

"And when these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and they came back, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it." — 2 Kings 7:8 (ASV)

And when ... tent. —Literally, And (so) those lepers came to the edge of the camp, and they went into one tent, taking up the thread of the narrative again at 2 Kings 7:5, where it was broken by the parenthesis about the panic flight of the Syrians.

Went and hid it. —A common practice of people in Eastern lands, for whom holes in the ground or in the house wall served as banks.
