7:1 And
Elisha
said,
Hear
ye
the
word
of
Jehovah:
thus
saith
Jehovah,
To-morrow
about
this
time
shall
a
measure
of
fine
flour
be
[sold]
for
a
shekel,
and
two
measures
of
barley
for
a
shekel,
in
the
gate
of
Samaria.
7:2 Then
the
captain
on
whose
hand
the
king
leaned
answered
the
man
of
God,
and
said,
Behold,
if
Jehovah
should
make
windows
in
heaven,
might
this
thing
be
And
he
said,
Behold,
thou
shalt
see
it
with
thine
eyes,
but
shalt
not
eat
thereof.
7:3 Now
there
were
four
leprous
men
at
the
entrance
of
the
gate:
and
they
said
one
to
another,
Why
sit
we
here
until
we
die
7:4 If
we
say,
We
will
enter
into
the
city,
then
the
famine
is
in
the
city,
and
we
shall
die
there;
and
if
we
sit
still
here,
we
die
also.
Now
therefore
come,
and
let
us
fall
unto
the
host
of
the
Syrians:
if
they
save
us
alive,
we
shall
live;
and
if
they
kill
us,
we
shall
but
die.
7:5 And
they
rose
up
in
the
twilight,
to
go
unto
the
camp
of
the
Syrians;
and
when
they
were
come
to
the
outermost
part
of
the
camp
of
the
Syrians,
behold,
there
was
no
man
there.
7:6 For
the
Lord
had
made
the
host
of
the
Syrians
to
hear
a
noise
of
chariots,
and
a
noise
of
horses,
even
the
noise
of
a
great
host:
and
they
said
one
to
another,
Lo,
the
king
of
Israel
hath
hired
against
us
the
kings
of
the
Hittites,
and
the
kings
of
the
Egyptians,
to
come
upon
us.
7:7 Wherefore
they
arose
and
fled
in
the
twilight,
and
left
their
tents,
and
their
horses,
and
their
asses,
even
the
camp
as
it
was,
and
fled
for
their
life.
7:8 And
when
these
lepers
came
to
the
outermost
part
of
the
camp,
they
went
into
one
tent,
and
did
eat
and
drink,
and
carried
thence
silver,
and
gold,
and
raiment,
and
went
and
hid
it;
and
they
came
back,
and
entered
into
another
tent,
and
carried
thence
also,
and
went
and
hid
it.
7:9 Then
they
said
one
to
another,
We
do
not
well;
this
day
is
a
day
of
good
tidings,
and
we
hold
our
peace:
if
we
tarry
till
the
morning
light,
punishment
will
overtake
us;
now
therefore
come,
let
us
go
and
tell
the
king's
household.
7:10 So
they
came
and
called
unto
the
porter
of
the
city;
and
they
told
them,
saying,
We
came
to
the
camp
of
the
Syrians,
and,
behold,
there
was
no
man
there,
neither
voice
of
man,
but
the
horses
tied,
and
the
asses
tied,
and
the
tents
as
they
were.
7:11 And
he
called
the
porters;
and
they
told
it
to
the
king's
household
within.
7:12 And
the
king
arose
in
the
night,
and
said
unto
his
servants,
I
will
now
show
you
what
the
Syrians
have
done
to
us.
They
know
that
we
are
hungry;
therefore
are
they
gone
out
of
the
camp
to
hide
themselves
in
the
field,
saying,
When
they
come
out
of
the
city,
we
shall
take
them
alive,
and
get
into
the
city.
7:13 And
one
of
his
servants
answered
and
said,
Let
some
take,
I
pray
thee,
five
of
the
horses
that
remain,
which
are
left
in
the
city
(behold,
they
are
as
all
the
multitude
of
Israel
that
are
left
in
it;
behold,
they
are
as
all
the
multitude
of
Israel
that
are
consumed);
and
let
us
send
and
see.
7:14 They
took
therefore
two
chariots
with
horses;
and
the
king
sent
after
the
host
of
the
Syrians,
saying,
Go
and
see.
7:15 And
they
went
after
them
unto
the
Jordan:
and,
lo,
all
the
way
was
full
of
garments
and
vessels,
which
the
Syrians
had
cast
away
in
their
haste.
And
the
messengers
returned,
and
told
the
king.
7:16 And
the
people
went
out,
and
plundered
the
camp
of
the
Syrians.
So
a
measure
of
fine
flour
was
[sold]
for
a
shekel,
and
two
measures
of
barley
for
a
shekel,
according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah.
7:17 And
the
king
appointed
the
captain
on
whose
hand
he
leaned
to
have
the
charge
of
the
gate:
and
the
people
trod
upon
him
in
the
gate,
and
he
died
as
the
man
of
God
had
said,
who
spake
when
the
king
came
down
to
him.
7:18 And
it
came
to
pass,
as
the
man
of
God
had
spoken
to
the
king,
saying,
Two
measures
of
barley
for
a
shekel,
and
a
measure
of
fine
flour
for
a
shekel,
shall
be
to-morrow
about
this
time
in
the
gate
of
Samaria;
7:19 and
that
captain
answered
the
man
of
God,
and
said,
Now,
behold,
if
Jehovah
should
make
windows
in
heaven,
might
such
a
thing
be
and
he
said,
Behold,
thou
shalt
see
it
with
thine
eyes,
but
shalt
not
eat
thereof:
7:20 it
came
to
pass
even
so
unto
him;
for
the
people
trod
upon
him
in
the
gate,
and
he
died.
