7:1 And
Elisha
saith,
`Hear
ye
a
word
of
Jehovah:
thus
said
Jehovah,
About
this
time
to-morrow,
a
measure
of
fine
flour
[is]
at
a
shekel,
and
two
measures
of
barley
at
a
shekel,
in
the
gate
of
Samaria.'
7:2 And
the
captain
whom
the
king
hath,
by
whose
hand
he
hath
been
supported,
answereth
the
man
of
God
and
saith,
`Lo,
Jehovah
is
making
windows
in
the
heavens--shall
this
thing
be'
and
he
saith,
`Lo,
thou
art
seeing
it
with
thine
eyes,
and
thereof
thou
dost
not
eat.'
7:3 And
four
men
have
been
leprous,
at
the
opening
of
the
gate,
and
they
say
one
unto
another,
`What--we
are
sitting
here
till
we
have
died;
7:4 if
we
have
said,
We
go
in
to
the
city,
then
the
famine
[is]
in
the
city,
and
we
have
died
there;
and
if
we
have
sat
here,
then
we
have
died;
and
now,
come
and
we
fall
unto
the
camp
of
Aram;
if
they
keep
us
alive,
we
live,
and
if
they
put
us
to
death--we
have
died.'
7:5 And
they
rise
in
the
twilight,
to
go
in
unto
the
camp
of
Aram,
and
they
come
in
unto
the
extremity
of
the
camp
of
Aram,
and
lo,
there
is
not
a
man
there,
7:6 seeing
Jehovah
hath
caused
the
camp
of
Aram
to
hear
a
noise
of
chariot
and
a
noise
of
horse--a
noise
of
great
force,
and
they
say
one
unto
another,
`Lo,
the
king
of
Israel
hath
hired
against
us
the
kings
of
the
Hittites,
and
the
kings
of
Egypt,
to
come
against
us.'
7:7 And
they
rise
and
flee
in
the
twilight,
and
forsake
their
tents,
and
their
horses,
and
their
asses--the
camp
as
it
[is]
--and
flee
for
their
life.
7:8 And
these
lepers
come
in
unto
the
extremity
of
the
camp,
and
come
in
unto
one
tent,
and
eat,
and
drink,
and
lift
up
thence
silver,
and
gold,
and
garments,
and
go
and
hide;
and
they
turn
back
and
go
in
unto
another
tent,
and
lift
up
thence,
and
go
and
hide.
7:9 And
they
say
one
unto
another,
`We
are
not
doing
right
this
day;
a
day
of
tidings
it
[is]
,
and
we
are
keeping
silent;
and--we
have
waited
till
the
light
of
the
morning,
then
hath
punishment
found
us;
and
now,
come
and
we
go
in
and
declare
to
the
house
of
the
king.'
7:10 And
they
come
in,
and
call
unto
the
gatekeeper
of
the
city,
and
declare
for
themselves,
saying,
`We
have
come
in
unto
the
camp
of
Aram,
and
lo,
there
is
not
there
a
man,
or
sound
of
man,
but
the
bound
horse,
and
the
bound
ass,
and
tents
as
they
[are]
.'
7:11 and
he
calleth
the
gatekeepers,
and
they
declare
to
the
house
of
the
king
within.
7:12 And
the
king
riseth
by
night,
and
saith
unto
his
servants,
`Let
me
declare,
I
pray
you,
to
you
that
which
the
Aramaeans
have
done
to
us;
they
have
known
that
we
are
famished,
and
they
are
gone
out
from
the
camp
to
be
hidden
in
the
field,
saying,
When
they
come
out
from
the
city,
then
we
catch
them
alive,
and
unto
the
city
we
enter.'
7:13 And
one
of
his
servants
answereth
and
saith,
`Then
let
them
take,
I
pray
thee,
five
of
the
horses
that
are
left,
that
have
been
left
in
it--lo,
they
[are]
as
all
the
multitude
of
Israel
who
have
been
left
in
it;
lo,
they
are
as
all
the
multitude
of
Israel
who
have
been
consumed--and
we
send
and
see.'
7:14 And
they
take
two
chariot-horses,
and
the
king
sendeth
after
the
camp
of
Aram,
saying,
`Go,
and
see.'
7:15 And
they
go
after
them
unto
the
Jordan,
and
lo,
all
the
way
is
full
of
garments
and
vessels
that
the
Aramaeans
have
cast
away
in
their
haste,
and
the
messengers
turn
back
and
declare
to
the
king.
7:16 And
the
people
go
out
and
spoil
the
camp
of
Aram,
and
there
is
a
measure
of
fine
flour
at
a
shekel,
and
two
measures
of
barley
at
a
shekel,
according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah.
7:17 And
the
king
hath
appointed
the
captain,
by
whose
hand
he
is
supported,
over
the
gate,
and
the
people
tread
him
down
in
the
gate,
and
he
dieth,
as
the
man
of
God
spake,
which
he
spake
in
the
coming
down
of
the
king
unto
him,
7:18 yea,
it
cometh
to
pass,
according
to
the
speaking
of
the
man
of
God
unto
the
king,
saying,
`Two
measures
of
barley
at
a
shekel,
and
a
measure
of
fine
flour
at
a
shekel
are,
at
this
time
to-morrow,
in
the
gate
of
Samaria;'
7:19 and
the
captain
answereth
the
man
of
God,
and
saith,
`And
lo,
Jehovah
is
making
windows
in
the
heavens--it
is
according
to
this
word'
and
he
saith,
`Lo,
thou
art
seeing
with
thine
eyes,
and
thereof
thou
dost
not
eat;'
7:20 and
it
cometh
to
him
so,
and
the
people
tread
him
down
in
the
gate,
and
he
dieth.
