OET (OET-RV) Although it was already night-time, the king got up and warned his servants, “I’ll tell you what’s going on here: The Arameans know that we’re hungry, so they left their camp to go and hide in the countryside, thinking that we’d go out from the city, and then they could capture us and take over the city.”

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [telling themselves that we will come out from the city, and they will capture us alive, and they will enter into the city]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
