they went into a tent to eat and drink

on 2 Kings 7:8-9

The lepers go from tent to tent, hiding silver, gold and clothing, until they judge themselves, “We are not doing what is right”. They see that “Today is a day of good news”, and that silence until morning would be sin. They go to tell the king's household.
