מלכים ב, פרק ז׳, פסוק ט״ו

The scouts dispatched by the king tracked the retreating Aramean army along their expected escape route, following their trail all the way to the Jordan River. Upon returning, these messengers reported that the enemy camp had completely vanished [שטיינזלץ].

The path leading to the river painted a clear picture of the army's chaotic retreat, as the entire road was littered with garments and equipment. The primary approach among commentators is that the fleeing soldiers deliberately discarded their belongings to lighten their load, casting aside any objects that might slow them down during their panicked escape [מצודת דוד, שטיינזלץ]. This long trail of abandoned gear served as physical evidence of the extreme haste and sheer terror with which the Arameans ran for their lives [רש״י, רלב״ג, מצודת ציון].
