Context
7:14 So they picked two horsemen and the king sent them out to track the Syrian army . He ordered them, “Go and find out what’s going on.”
7:15 So they tracked them as far as the Jordan . The road was filled with clothes and equipment that the Syrians had discarded in their haste . The scouts went back and told the king .
7:16 Then the people went out and looted the Syrian camp . A seah of finely milled flour sold for a shekel , and two seahs of barley for a shekel , just as the Lord had said they would.
7:17 Now the king had placed the officer who was his right-hand man at the city gate . When the people rushed out, they trampled him to death in the gate . This fulfilled the prophet’s word which he had spoken when the king tried to arrest him.
7:18 The prophet told the king , “Two seahs of barley will sell for a shekel , and a seah of finely milled flour for a shekel ; this will happen about this time tomorrow in the gate of Samaria .”
7:19 But the officer replied to the prophet , “Look , even if the Lord made it rain by opening holes in the sky , could this happen so soon?” Elisha said , “Look , you will see it happen with your own eyes , but you will not eat any of the food!”
7:20 This is exactly what happened to him. The people trampled him to death in the city gate .
