2 Kings 7:1
7:1 Elisha replied, “Hear the word of the
Lord! This is what the
Lord says, ‘About this time tomorrow a seah
of finely milled flour will sell for a shekel and two seahs of barley for a shekel at the gate of Samaria.’”
2 Kings 7:16-20
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.
