2 Kings 7:8
And when these lepers came to the uttermost 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 came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it. (2 Kings 7:8)
Did eat.
The lepers thought first of satisfying their gnawing hunger. Then they responded to the natural impulse of helping themselves to the treasure that was simply waiting to be carried away.
