Then the people went out and looted the Syrian camp. A seah<n id="1" /> of finely milled flour sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, just as the <sc>Lordsc> had said they would.<n id="2" />p>

The prophet told the king, &#8220;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.&#8221;
