What does 2 Kings 7:9 mean?

Then they said to each other, This isn't right. Today is a day of good news, and we're keeping it to ourselves. If we wait until morning, something bad might happen to us. Let's go tell the people at the palace. 2 Kings 7:9 - Modern Text Bible

(Their conscience kicks in. They realize it's wrong to keep this good news to themselves, especially when others are suffering.)
