2 Kings 7:16-17

7:16 Then the people went out and looted the Syrian camp. A seah ³  of finely milled flour sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, just as the Lord had said they would. ⁴ 

7:17 Now the king had placed the officer who was his right-hand man ⁵  at the city gate. When the people rushed out, they trampled him to death in the gate. ⁶  This fulfilled the prophet’s word which he had spoken when the king tried to arrest him. ⁷
